then learnt to "RAFT TX RESCUE".
is basically.
Victim -> Capsized, asking for help.
Main Rescuer -> HELP the victim.
Assistant Rescuer -> HELP the MAIN RESCUER.
Meanings of RAFT TX RESCUE:
RAFT -> form a raft(assistant and main rescuer)
T -> the victim should be at main rescuer's BOW, hugging.
then forming a T with the capsized kayak and the raft.
X -> Jerk the kayak up to drain water, overhead view; X.
RESCUE -> SAVE PEOPLE LA.
