A fellow boater and friend is laid up because of injuries sustained on the river due to a group neglecting to adhere to basic safety precautions and common sense/river etiquette…causing her to swim Big Drop and Cats Paw. I would like to hear the other side to this story.

Good to be back in touch with you. I suspect we’ll still be here in October, unless we line up work out West for a few months this Fall/Winter. Accommodations are extended to you here in Fredericktown, as well. Door is always open. You still soaking up sun in the DR?
