    I am so sorry that you and your H are dealing with this. But I am very proud of both of you for doing exactly what you needed and were supposed to do. I will be keeping y'all in my thoughts and prayers along with the man's wife.

    Last night sucked.  I didn't sleep well at all.  DH is really hurting from being a ping pong ball floating down the river.  but he is alive so I will take that over being a widow.

    Interesting thing I thought of though.  The couple got on the bus with an open bottle of wine and 2 glasses.  Now I do not know if they drank before coming on the bus or not.  As far as I know they wanted something to celebrate after the trip and brought their own wine to do that.  But it could be an interesting point.  I would love to see the toxicology report.









    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    here is another article.   It still says DH made it back to the boat.  He did not.  He was being tossed around like a ping pong ball, then he got to a rock.  Took a rest then made it to shore.  Then another boat picked him up.

    The reason it bugs me is because it could be assumed rescuing DH could have caused the other guy not to be helped.  Fact is it was clear DH was okay and we put are attention on to the other guy.   The safety kayaker didn't tend to DH at all, didn't need to, the other guy was clearly in panic mode and DH was not.    Small detail, but it bothers me.

    I'm so sorry to hear this! Like @CMGragain mentioned, the river is crazy high this year. I'll also echo if you need anything, let me know! I'm in Denver!

    That is awful! I can't even imagine what you and everyone else on the boat are going through. How traumatic to watch someone die. I'm so glad to hear that your husband was able to stay calm and get to shore. It could have been way worse than it was. As tragic as the situation was, it was also a miracle that it wasn't worse.
