I told her, from the water, how to pull my boat across hers and drain my cockpit, and then help me right it. I wiggled up across the decks of our boats and got in, with a big thanks to her. She said,"Thank you, I always wondered myself how you'd get back in the boat if you were out in the middle of the lake." could you explain a bit more about the assisted rescue? i understand about the initial pulling the capsized boat across the prow of another boat....but how far? and once the water comes out of one end it must run to the the other end so how do you empty the boat or do you? any answers would be appreciated weebee in maine *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
