I can't imagine how scared they must have been. :( That’s a scary thought, but it’s a good thing that they had their pfds, even if the water temp was really low.

Thoughts are with them... as well as you. Scary things happen to people all the time, especially those of us who love sports and extreme sports and out the outdoors. Fortunately, the stats for people who die in car accidents or walking down the street is far greater than getting out there and enjoying nature! Wow, that is truly scary.

I am sure it was hard since you knew the guys. 30 min doesn't seem like that long, but in freezing waters, I'm sure it seems like hours... :eek: Oh wow…sorry to hear about that.

When I huli back in dec of 04 (2 days after I got my new pfd) thankfully I was in the water for 5-10 mins and one of those bums living in a boat came out and saved me. After that I became more of a summer outrigger paddler.. but I paddle dragon boat 9-10 months of the year.. So if and when a 22 man dragon boat hulis your hooped. @ Aidan .. Me to..

I cant even imagine going into the water in winter or early spring! Burr... I love my Mustang survival bomber jacket! :) I still think being out on the water unseen for 30min is a long time.. I just wish they were spotted sooner, at least by a passing boat, a fellow dragonboater, etc... That’s horrible. I cant even imagine going into the water in winter or early spring!
