Here's a quicker one. A and B both in. A lifts the bow of his boat while B sinks the stern (Don't let go of B's boat). Score so far: one dry boat, one full boat, two swimmers. B grabs the coaming of A's boat and A re-enters. Score so far: one re-entered paddler into a dry boat, one full boat, one swimmer. A does a T-rescue for B. Score: all in and dry. This can be done in about 3 minutes with a novice B. -- Steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
