Jack Jones Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/kayaker-alright-after-falling-into-mo-river/-/21048998/23901880/-/13svn69z/-/index.html I'd like to think his phone was in a dry bag, not just a plastic bag, but whatever works. Sounds like he did everything right, and glad he's safe. "Thanks to Mother Mercy, Thanks to Brother Wine, Another night is over and we're walking down the line" - David Mallett
Quillback Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Said he grabbed a limb to stay afloat, no life jacket? But, glad to hear he made it.

Terrierman Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I saw several boats on trucks in Springfield on Saturday and Sunday. Conditions are great for anyone who knows how to get around on a river in cold weather.
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 He's lucky. I had an acquaintance who's son turned a sailboat over in 55 degree water. He manage to get to a tree and get out of the water, They found him there dead from hypothermia. I would urge anyone in water 50 degrees or so to wear some protective gear unless you cab run out of the water. It doesn't hurt to have a safety kit either, fire starters, matches, small saw etc. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Al Agnew Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Mary and I drove down to Millstream Gardens on the St. Francis yesterday...quite a few whitewater kayakers were on the river or heading away from it. It was up enough to make for some pretty big wave trains and a couple of nasty hydraulics, but the whitewater people were equipped for it with dry suits for the most part.
luckycraft Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Probably duck hunting……I heard them fellas aint too smart????? Yeah, I put all my gear and my 6 year old lab on the back of mine earlier this year in persuit of ducks. Made my but pucker when she was standing up wagging her tail in 16 degree weather. Good times.
