Boat Entry / Exit
I enter and exit frequently from a low dock at the coast, and at times
from a high dock. In Tahiti, I did several launches from a Warf where cruise ships and freighters land. Entering and exiting from a high dock you definately want a rope attached to a mooring to hold at all times. I simply clutch the rope firmly, then stand in the cockpit. Then work myself to a seated position on the rear of the coaming. then I work myself in. Getting out is the same process in reverse. On a low dock, I sit on the dock. Swing my legs in the cockpit, then slide to the back of the coaming then work myself in, while clutching the dock.

I have been having no trouble getting in or out of my new boat in shallow water by using a technique I found on some web-sites. But what about entry and exit in deeper water from a dock and lower landing. My concerns are that in December I am planning on paddling through the Everglades Wilderness Waterway were I will be camping on what they call a chickee, ( a dock like structure out over the water.) I was wondering what others who have paddled the wilderness waterway do when they have camped from a chickee? (entry / exit technique). Also loading and unloading gear from the kayak from the chickee platform? Carl |
