Re: [Paddlewise] Landing a victim through surf

Julio;
If the swimmer is in the water do a swimmer rescue and surf/broach the
boat in (rolling with a swimmer on your back deck is not too hard
providing they hang on and keep their weight low).  
A drouge is the best idea.  I'd be hard pressed to get out of (and
desert) my boat and be a drouge for somone else except for dire
circumstances.
Depending on the extent of the injury it's possible to have the injured
person hang on to the coaming of their boat and be pulled in as their
boat is broached in.
