Incident Management for the Sea Monkey's of Massachusetts

Almost totally flat conditions welcomed us onto the water this morning. We were running an incident management course for the Sea Monkey's of Massachusetts, a self proclamed eating group with a severe paddling disorder. The calm conditions gave the guys and one gal the chance to put a good stamp on basic rescue and towing techniques, The morning was what you could describe as a wet session, but not half as wet as the afternoon was to become, Launching again after lunch we noticed just how much the swell had changed, giving us perfect conditions to take the level up a notch or two and expose the guys to more realistic rescues and incident scenario's. Difficult landings turned out to be the highlight of the day for most of the guys as well as dealing with un-conscious casualties, dislocated shoulders and missing hatch covers...A very special thankyou goes out to Billy, Galen, Bob, Walter, Jason, Werner, Suz, Jon, Rick and Ollie. Well done Ollie for pulling off your first re-entry and roll!
