Motuora Antics - It happens to the best of us by Diana Austin Should you laugh when your trip leader falls out? It really was funny! An excellent safety brief – one of the best we had encountered – started our weekend. Russell asked “What’s the biggest safety risk?” Some didn’t give the right answer, but yes it was hypothermia. “ If anyone falls in the water get them out quick. No fancy rescue methods that may delay getting them out of the water!” We had an easy going paddle to Motuora Island, set up camp, had lunch then paddled round the island. Russell, in his nice new Kevlar, mossied around inside the swell. Most of the group paddled well outside which gave them a great view. A wave rose. So did Russell. The wave broke and so did Russell. Well, not quite, he was just under water, swirling around, paddle in the air. What was that safety message again? Yes, ‘get him out of the water quick’! “Not I,” said the Austins,, “We’ve got children onboard.” “Not I,” said Greg, “I’m taking the photos!”… Up piped Russell, “It’s actually quite nice in here”. Phew – had he noticed the lack of enthusiasm? “There’s no need to come and get me,” he said, “I’ve got it under control. Just couldn’t roll it up!” “ Is that right Russell?” Minus a hat and a drink bottle (you can ask him about the bruises) and with his Kevlar intact, we returned to camp. A few phone calls back to mates, “having a great time, standing on the beach with my shirt off…” He’s obviously an engineer, they seem to follow the principle, always the truth but never the whole truth. So for all those who got that bit of the truth, this article is for you!
