Last weekend two experienced paddlers found themselves in trouble and required a rescue from the Coast Guard. They have put together a very detailed and well thought out incident report at Plum Island Incident Report.
Be sure to read Nick Shade's comments also.
The take aways:
- You can never be too prepared.
- You can never be so skilled that you always be able to save yourself.
- You can never be so smart that you won't be surprised by Ma' Nature.
- You can always use a friend, or friends, when things go wrong.
