Self rescue practice today

The sun shone down and the great unwashed came out to play. Today the carpark at Lake pier was rammed with weekend warriors out for a paddle.

On arrival I saw a car with a prowler on it. I sauntered over and said

" hello mate, are you here for the re- entry practice?"

The reply was a bit unexpected

" f*ck off, I've been doing this since I was a kid"

 

Not a great start. Soon saw Dave and Bri and we set up and launched .

Then as we headed for deeper water we met Ian and Matt . Lots of falling in and self and assisted rescues followed and we were joined by Si and family. We all practiced the serious stuff and then had larks and japes afloat.

So eight of us finished the afternoon happy and confident in our skills for recovering from a potentially deadly situation

 

Some pics and videos of rescues and acrobatics

 

Oh

My camera was set on a goofy setting so the vids are in slow mo.

Kind of adds to the deftness really
