Larry, I had a T-rescue with a fully loaded boat done with me at the rescuee. We were on Lake Superior in calm 60+ degree F water. My inversion was voluntary. My Valley Aquila was fully loaded. My paddling partner lifted the boat high enough to drain the cockpit. We then rolled the boat over on her deck and completed the rescue. The rescue would have been more of a challenge in the waves on the windward side of the island. Dana Dickson > -----Original Message----- > Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 06:34:22 -0600 > From: "Larry L.
