Hey folks, here’s a simple question:
Have you ever successfully self-rescued after unintentionally capsizing in a loaded boat while on a trip?
I’m talking here about paddling on a trip with a full load (including water), getting yourelf into a bad place, capsizing, and then self-rescuing without help from a buddy. I’m not talking about surfing, playing, or generally messing about, nor cases where you are practicing self-rescues with a loaded boat.
I’m asking because I’m doing a little risk management analysis and I want data from real experiences, not theories about best practices or techniques. Deep Trouble and its sequel have many stories of people who don’t successfully self-rescue: I want to see if we can share any success stories. There might not be any…
Cheers,
Andrew
