Little girl’s impressive trick for emptying a swamped canoe without taking it out of the water
If your canoe has taken on water, generally the best option is to get it to shore where you can then tip it over on dry land. But if you got this girl’s skills, there’s no need.
She has a simple but impressive method for taking a sinking boat and bringing it back to the surface without any need to remove it from the water…
We sunk a canoe yesterday off the shore of St. Pete’s during one of those “afternoon monsoons”. It’s a standard 14 footer (not the wide type). Know any drainage tricks that could help us in the future?
We have a million of these tricks in the rural south of the USA. It’s just that everyone thinks we’re ignorant cousin lovers so, no one looks into the culture.
Hey, Ned Morlef, you should get out your camera and make some videos! People come up with amazing solutions to problems all the time, and maybe your getting the word out could do some good. 🙂
That is so cool. Everyone is a genius. Of course it sank several times. It wasn’t that she was figuring it out. She knew what she was doing. The reason it sank below the water was it was already below the water. What she did was impossible in a way. She bailed out a boat by rocking it when it was already below the water.
That girl is a boss. Very impressive.
