SMSKN Meeting: MAYDAY - Casco Bay Rescue Discussion and Analysis


Recommended Posts

Many of you by now have seen the dramatic footage of the sea kayaking accident that occurred while a group of local Portland paddlers were rock gardening on the outside of Cushing Island in Casco Bay.   A well-known and highly experienced kayaker was seriously injured in the event, which culminated in a Mayday call and at-sea rescue.  In this presentation, members of the paddling group will discuss the incident and share their thoughts and reactions as the drama unfolded.   Come learn what to do right when things go wrong on an ordinary morning of rock play.

 The group suggests that attendees view the video before the presentation.  It can be seen here:
