Re: public service announcement or driftboat mishap

Geez Bill, your story is my worst nightmare. I'm a marginal swimmer 
at best (dense body mass, can't float at all) and with waders, vest, 
etc, I'd probably sink like a stone. Your message fell on at least 
one pair of very receptive ears.

I was out drifting for steelhead down on the Lewis this last Saturday.

Had the opportunity to experience a boat getting stuck on a rock, 
then breaking up and everybody having to swim for shore.

I was the only one to have on a lifejacket and from what I 
understand, the only non-swimmer in the bunch.

My public service announcement is "always wear your life jacket". 
It's better to be a live sissy.

Lost a little gear in this mishap too.  Maybe that was because I 
stooped to fishing with gear.
