Message #2723 of 2826 |

Submitted for your approval. I call it a wet float rescue. The swimmer stays in
their boat doing a dead mans float with the paddle. A very smooth non-fatiguing
maneuver. The rescuer comes in with a hand of god. Swimmer leans on back deck
or forward deck to make "hand of god" easier. Opinions welcomed.

Sounds like a good one. There's a self-rescue that's similar ... using your paddle float as leverage, you face forward, hug your kayak with one arm, your...	Terry Leaman doty1933	Jul 7, 2009 1:20 pm
