Rescue & Incident management Sunday June 5th, 2022 1:00 pm Hingham Harbor

Post by NorwayLady »

Kayak Rescue & Incident Management:
Rescues with sea kayaks are never “routine”, but there is a process to follow in self rescue and assisting others that needs to be practiced to keep it fresh in our 2nd nature/muscle memory, so when we need the skills they come easily in difficult circumstances, and others can count on us to know what to do.

Join us in Hingham Harbor for an afternoon of practice focused on techniques to save yourself and others in incident management scenarios including wet exit, rolling, scrambles, paddle float and Eskimo rescues, towing, and fun in and on the water with friends.

Registration required:

Also required: sit-in kayak 15 feet or longer, 2 bulkheads for flotation, PFD, spray skirt, paddle, helmet, paddle float, tow system & nose plug.
Dress for water temperature of 56 F and expect to get wet. Snacks & liquids, sunscreen/dark glasses.
