• 2 part video from local paddler Olivier Tanton, of big conditions, problems, a long swim and a fortunate rescue - the author has written his descriptive text and comments in the video in French (our French needs some work, but it seems that Patrick in the green OC1 got separated from his canoe - it is not apparent to us how this happened - was it due to leash failure, or…?)
