About this event
This one day class will cover the basic skills of incident management:
- Self rescue
- Buddy rescue
- Scoop and hand of god rescue
- Long tow
- Assisted tow
- Short Tow
- Contact Tow
- Boat repair supplies
- On water boat repair
Meet at Bowman Bay at 9:00, boats on the beach, paddling clothing on, nearly ready to launch. You will likely be in the water multiple times during the day and we won't do long stretches of paddling. Dress warmly.
We will start with discussion on the shore. This is the time to ask questions and set expectations. Most of our time will be spent in Bowman bay. Depending on how things go, we might move over to Deception Pass.
If winds are strong, we will change to a more protected venue. We will cancel for major rain or temperature below 35F.
Equipment you should have:
- Helmet. If not a whitewater helmet, a bike or climbing helmet will suffice.
- Long towline
- Short towline
- Your standard first aid and repair supplies
If you do not have a long or short tow line, contact me for information. You'll get more out of the class if you have these.
