Never have flipped a boat--know its comin, but just wondering what people have gone thru, what I should try and avoid (besides the obvious--dont flip!) what to try for besides getting everyone back in or on the boat.
Is it more important to get the raft to the side or continue until all passengers are picked up??
How many folks out there wear a river strap around their waist to act as a flip line in case of flip.
I understand how to flip the raft back over, but I think I might need advice on a few other things. thanks
ps. have you found it difficult to get back onto the top of the boat after flipping? What did you use--the chicken line for foot support?
