Now this happened last summer. So here I was doing some Kayaking on the Nanaimo River, spending my first summer in Nanaimo with some other students from the University i go to.
So we were on the river and I had done one or two dunks already and had exited the little boat under controlled conditions. However, as we had just finished going over the rapids in Nanaimo River, I flipped my boat.
Okay everything was fine, I pulled he little skirt thing that you cover the entrance with and started to get out. However my legs got stuck in the boat. So I had lost my paddle and therefore couldn't right myself, and I couldn't get out of the boat. So somehow I was able through strength along break the calm of the water by almost righting my boat and taking in huge gulps of air and thrashing around and such. I think I startled a few people.
So an instructor came over in his kiyak and I reappeared above the surface and latched onto the back of his boat almost tipping him over. After trying to get me off with no avail we floated to the shore where I was finally able to get out of the kiyak.
