Sorry for the dumb question, but what does "cv, cvs" stand for?
Thanks buddy!

At least you weren't the guy complaining about the cold. It didn't look that bad out to me, you didn't even have hat on.
At what part of the river did they do down? I don't recall to many rough spots on it in that area and am trying to imagine what could have happened. I could see a solo boater having problems but I have been through a good amount of running water, sometimes solo, with two guys someone at least should know what happened.
Did they find the guy's boat? By now he's probably dead... or squealing like a pig. Not to sound crass but like I said: Two guys go in, one comes out ???? :msp_confused:
That is really not a river a person could have a whole lot of problems on, unless they were doing a storm run, then, well, you better be a real good paddler and even a better swimmer. Maybe the guy took a dunk by a bridge pilon, got sucked down and stuck in a shopping cart? Playing around a dam?
Good effort on your part.:msp_thumbup:How did you hook up with the gig?
I made the news looking for the guy that was kayaking. I am driving the boat.

They went down about a mile below where rt 372 crosses over the susquehanna river. The river runs pretty fast there because the water has to go around alot of island, and you have the dam discharge and also the muddy run resevar dicharge right there. Its only about 10-12 feet deep where the guy went under, but really turbulant. You have to hang onto the steering wheel of a motor boat pretty good so you dont lose control. The two guys went out to go camping on the island around 10:30 pm sat night. They got into the rapids and one guy back paddle to correct his steering and it dumped him. That guy didnt know how to swim and he is the one that died. The other guy that made it tried to rescue him, but the other guy dumped him also. They were childhood friends, now both in there 20's. The water runs about 15-20 mph in that area. I have been a volunteer fireman since 1998, and when i am not too busy i run calls and help out.
Awesome! I would like to help out with the FD but I would probably be more of a liabilty.
Like I said: you have to be a good swimmer if you want to go "boating". In my mind the kid should not have been in the water if he didn't know how to swim.I never went out without a helmet and a vest and that is what bothers me about this accident.
We used to paddle the Sus. Just south of the Pequea dam. Once or twice I volunteered for rescue duty ( which was needed like every 5 seconds). You would just hang out on a rock with a rope which was anchored to an eyebolt there. It was a give and take sort of deal.
When my wife was pregnant I got rid of my boats.
You got to get a pic of these " rapids" cause I know that river pretty well. Its wide and slow. Well at least til Pequea it is. There are some quicker spots but mostly wide and slow through Lancaster Co. And where its rocky and swift its not deep. So this kid musta been up to something. Like a non-swimmer paddling in the dark.
Going to bed, heading to Pocono Lake PA in 6 hours (0400) to pick up a stump grinder!:redface: Might meet up with Blakesmaster on the way back home in NY
Rain this morning so I went out on evaluations today. Booked a $2k job for this Friday on my first stop, and left $3400 in quotes at two other evaluations. This is pretty good for this time of year, and my A-List "Honor Roll" ad hasn't even gone out yet.
For the second year in a row I've been given the A-List "Super Service Award" (2010 & 2011) so this will help a lot with instant credibility for my customers. Today for example I bagged a $2k job unopposed. They don't even bother to get other bids. All I have to do now is live up to my reputation and exceed my customers expectations.

A good day for me, fell tight quarter trees next to house, 3 in front and 4 backyard, climbed one right over roof, everything went scary good, all down and chipped, like it.
Going back tomorrow to trim 3 cedars and one more climb, removal over detached garage
