Real world Example: I have taken part in many assisted reentry rescues during coastal trips. Kayaks side by side and the swimmer climes on back deck then into cockpit. The two paddlers pump out the swamped kayak with hand pumps. It works. Theory/practice example: Perfomed practice paddlefloat reentry many times over the last ten years but never had to do it for real. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
