With fully laden sea kayaks on a trip, which can be very heavy, I never
try to lift the overturned boat over another to empty it.

I simply right the boat, get the paddler back in and pump out the
cockpit - minimises the time the paddler is in the water and most of the
time there isn't all that much water i nthe cockpit to empty either.

I feel trying to lift heavy boats on a bumpy sea can damage kit and
people!
