Pair rescued after kayak overturns on the River Tamar

“Probably worth joining a club? Port of Plymouth is good http://tinyurl.com/cnopae2
Rule of three (boats) is quite good -
1st to capsize/get in to trouble
2nd to attempt a rescue
3rd stays back in case the rescue goes wrong (now 2 victims) and is needed to raise alarm”
