How to flip a boat back over

Val's raft flipped on Pierce Rapids, now exposed for the first time in over 75 years since the water in Lake Meade is so low. In order to get this done, you first have to cut the oar off from it's tether. Dorothy's pretty good with a knife. Then you have to rig the boat so you can make the flip.


Okay, grab the rope and pull. If we lean back hard enough we can turn this thing over.


Pull hard, and lean back. You've got to lean back! Pull some more.


Keep pulling, keep pulling.... And one last umph!!


And that's all it takes. Notice the ice chest on the front of the boat... that's our lunch!
