Well, something similar did happen to me, but we were on a lake. The ex was not experienced in any outdoorsy stuff, and he broke the plastic paddle on the nylon dinghy we were using.
Then he demanded MY paddle, and tried to paddle with great strength to get us to dock, but he had to cross the paddle over the top of the dinghy, right left, right left, and the paddle ended up catching on the nylon cords and flipped right out of the dinghy.
We were completely helpless...but were fortunate that the wind was blowing us toward the reeds and the shallows at one side of the lake. And we were even MORE fortunate when a power boat shouted out and asked us if we needed any help. They were able to retrieve one of the paddles and towed us back to dock.
