The "one person rescues their boat over the partner's boat, then they rescue the partner, then those folks rescue two more people" as described in many paddling and rescue books never happens. Folks hang out in the cold water, and everyone pretty much figures they're on their own, and they get in much quicker doing solo rescues--cowboy scramble, re-enter and roll, or paddlefloat, THEN rescue the folks who are really having trouble with a T or sling rescue. >One thing I am not familiar with, and it may be terminology, >but what is a curl rescue? A rescue for completely swamped boats--about the only way to rescue a Cleopatra's needle situation. You lean over a partner's bow and do a biceps curl---SLOWLY--with the swamped boat on edge, and slowly drain the water out. Shawn Yahoo!
