Despite having long monkey arms, it wasn't easy! My torso was completely over the stern, and head about in the water as I recall. The boat was LOW in the water! It physically hurt as I recall, but I was able to get it in somehow! I would have jumped in if/when I failed! I flipped canoes in that river dozens of times as a kid and haven't yet lost a toe to a snapping turtle! LOL
That's funny about your dad's boat!!
