Pinned Boat


Description: Check this area out carefully before running. The center slot (where Martin and Brian are trying to pop the Topolino free) is made for a vertical pin. We knew of the danger and had safety set up on the rock that they are standing on. Martin was vertically pinned with water over his ears. With Brian's help Martin was able to exit.
We eventually had to use a portable winch (come-a-long) and pull the boat straight up to retrieve it.
