RedactedNarrative: Operator left pinewood acres in a canoe.  Operator was accompanied by her children subject1, and subject2.  Both children were initially in their own kayaks. The wind was blowing up to and possibly exceeding 15 mph.  Operator had difficulties steering the canoe.  Subject2 tied his kayak to subject1's kayak (diagram b), and then crossloaded into operator’s canoe to assist in paddling (diagram c).  Operator and subject2 were unable to steer the canoe in the wind.  
  
  Waves began swamping the canoe.  Subject1 was able to land on the rocks just north of the dam gates where she beached the kayaks and ran for help.  Operator and subject2 were pushed up against the concrete wall just south of the dam gates where they held onto a buoy until rescue arrived (diagram d).  All three individuals were transported to halifax regional hospital for possible hypothermia and released the same day.
