Cassidy and James joined me on the water, they were wearing wetsuits so I joked that they’d be keen to practice rescues – turned out they were keen. So we spent some time practicing rescuing each other from deep water and then we practiced climbing back into our own kayaks from deep water without any help from each other and without toppling back in during the process. They both did well with these skills, skills that every person who goes kayaking should learn and practice regularly.
