Been there, done that. I agree w/ others about loading, un loading parallel to shore where possible.

The biggest question it raised for me was, 'how did they get everything in one pack?' Must be a short trip.

If, upon arrival to shore, the bow paddler had hopped out before grinding hull on shore, and stabilized canoe for partner, while swinging canoe parallel to shore, the stern paddler could hop out, and one could grab the pack, while the other picked up the canoe, they both could avoid canoe grind.

It seemed odd, that they both got their feet wet anyway, but the method seemed to focus on minimizing wet feet.
