: Maybe the thing to do is to swamp the boat, swim to shore, then
: tell her to swim out and retrieve it, since it's her fault that it can't
: be paddled. It's a rotten trick, but it may save her life someday.I think a more reasonable approach would be to demonstrate how to rescue a boat from a 'cleopatra's needle' situation. This is where one end of a kayak has flooded and is bobbing in the water bow or stern down. If it still doesn't impress her to add flotation, at least her paddling partner would know how to possibly recover.
