Great demo of boat over boat rescue. I learned how to do in-water recovery in my training for my solo canoe instructor certification. You did a nice demo of that. The key is to put your hands inside the canoe, as you did, NOT on the rail, otherwise the opposite rail will bop you in the head. Then a good frog kick and jump like a dolphin, rolling into the canoe and you’re there. The first time I practiced it on my own I grabbed the close rail and got hit hard and fast in the forehead by the opposite rail. It was fairly bloody. Nice job in rough water! Great demo of what all should practice before going out anywhere that’s away from shore, especially in rough conditions like yours. Bravo!

Also, nice rescue demo with the two of you - one holding the rail down so the other can hop in on the opposite side. Since I usually paddle solo I’ve never tried rescue with two people. I will practice that one too! Nice demo of how the person in the canoe heels to the opposite side so the swimmer can pop back in, grabbing the rail in this instance because the canoe is steadied by the off-side heel, hopefully with a brace if the paddle is still there!

It is worth pointing out that these canoes have some major flotation bow and stern. It is even more difficult to right a capsized canoe without this additional buoyancy. Plan ahead. If you are going out in ROUGH weather like this video brilliantly shows, think about adding some floats like they have done here.

Nice job, especially the solo recovery at the end. You always see these demonstrated in calm, warm conditions. This was real world conditions when you would most likely be in need of these skills. If you have ever practiced under these conditions, you will know how fast the cold saps your energy!

I did this very thing in training today in a force 5 wind with force 7 gusts (up to 32 mph). It's difficult to say the least. Im certainly not at the standard of these canoeists and wouldn't personally venture out in these conditions in a canoe unless under expert guidance. Hats off to you!

Well done. Dry suits: I always wear a dry suit in a kayak but not always in a canoe. Of course, I rarely paddle a canoe is such open water. Weather can pick up in a hurry all the same and I have been caught out in unforecasted storms. Good video.

Guiding Mike it’s a good idea to practice in the same conditions you are most likely to need these techniques in! ‘Fair weather never a good skipper made.’ Book or classroom theory gets very real done this way, as well as discovering flaws in technique, or just issues to deal with, like climbing over the gunnel in a bulky PFD, or the heaving of the boat in waves and swells. Excellent video’

At least this is a real-life situation, out ion a windy lake! Good Job! I particularly like the solo recovery, and getting back in over the side. I would normally climb back in over the end, which can support a man's weight without swamping (of course if full of gear, that might be more difficult). Good demo. It is clearly easier with life jackets, but CAN be done! I used to do it when I was a kid. Have lived in SW for many years, am returning soon to New England, and good canoe water!

Michael Z paddle leashes solve that. I ALWAYS use them just for that reason, if you lose your ‘motor,’ life can suck real quick.
@highloughsdrifter1629 Жыл бұрын
I wouldn't go for paddle leashes, they'd be a right pain to paddle with and an extra entanglement hazard. In my experience you still have the paddle in your hand when you end up in the water and wedge it in the boat before beginning recovery. Carry a spare as well. That's my only criticism of the best open canoe recovery video I've seen; no use of paddles in either deep reentry. In the tandem the first man up should be bracing, not holding either rail and for the solo a paddle wedged across the boat as an outrigger adds a lot of stability (works with a tippy 11' solo boat on the sea)
@itsumonihon13 жыл бұрын
@Delticola i dunno about that, obviously you don't want to capsize, ever, but i've taken canoes like this out into rougher conditions many many times.. the pacific is unforgiving, if you never went out in weather like this you'd never be able to go anywhere..west coast of BC weather is like this or worse more often than not.
@deezynar12 жыл бұрын
I don't boat, but I think I'd have a way to attach my paddle across the sides & put an empty bottle on the end to make an outrigger just for getting back in the boat. I like the cut off bottle they had for bailing. I noticed it was on a line too, smart.

Kudos for demoing in real-life windy conditions when capsizes are more likely to occur. My preference would be to drag the capsized boat across my gunnels and flip it over completely before putting it back in the water. It's a lot easier than flipping it in the water.
