Kevin said: <<<Now that it has been several days, does anybody have more info on the sad double fatality in the San Juan's last week? I heard a rumor that the paddlers were not wearing thermal protection at all. Can anyone verify this?>>> The County Sheriff's Dept. told me the first paddler was not dressed for immersion, save for his wet suite booties. I don't know the details on the second paddler, as a different jurisdiction picked the secong guy up. Please let us know if you find out anything further, via back-channel info sent to you - just don't quote source, of course. I did mention the lack of immersion gear a few days ago. Did you miss the post, or just didn't believe me? :-) BC'in Ya Doug Lloyd *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
