Canoe Over Canoe Rescue

If your canoe capsizes, and you have a friend, or friends, in a canoe nearby, it is possible for them to empty the water out of your canoe and help you get back in.  It's called "canoe over canoe rescue" and some canoe books swear by it, and some say that in conditions where you're likely to capsize the water will probably be too rough for you to use this technique and you should just swim the canoe to shore.

At any rate, I thought it would be good if those of us going on the canoe trip in August knew how to do this and had done it a few times.  So since Dad and Jake are visiting right now, we took yesterday's relatively warm and un-stormy morning to go jump in the lake.  On purpose.  Repeatedly.
