We all don’t share the same SEAL gene pool, and admittedly couch potatoes have equal opportunity to get into trouble, as follows:
While canoeing N. Georgian Bay following the “Voyageur “ routes, I had made overnight camp at a small island. That night, a fierce rainstorm came and filled my canoe with water. The weight of that water filled canoe pulled out my anchored ropes and sent it drifting beyond my visual sight.
The next morning, I awoke to find my canoe gone and me stranded on this rock farm. It was mid summer and the waters of Georgian Bay are c o l d.
Now, if I was of physical shape, could I be able to swim for self rescue ? What were my options ?
