cannot even imagine what barry was going thru, called him to see how the fishing was and couldn't hardly hear as the chopper was right there at that time just that his buddy went into the water and was headed to columbia. losing someone who was like an older brother and you knew all your life had to be so hard and trying to revive him. Spoke with barry a few times and the family was supportive at the funeral. such a cautionary tale that we all could learn from. be prepared for emergencies. I know I am buying a comfortable PFD that will wear all the time.
