I have been boating 4 or 5 times this year and I am getting better in terms of getting in and out of the boat with my Prosthetic leg. I have used my Rheo Knee rather than my water leg which will probably piss of my prothesist..... but oh well......
No I don't mean that. If I was alone, I would definately use my water leg or if I went to a place that I was unfamiliar with, I would wear it too. For the most part, I have gone to places with docks and when I haven't, I have worn boots......
The toughest part thus far is the walk down the dock which is a large decline and is somewhat unstable. Declines and hills are by far the toughest thing that I have to do. Why are these so difficult??.
I surprised the hell out of myself and my father at Thompson lake where their wasn't a dock so we beached the boat and I got out of the boat by climbing over the windshield and stepping on the closed bow and then stepping way down to the ground. It doesn't seem like much to people with two real legs, but it meant a ton to me.
