Speed of current and distance traveled - 15 minutes at least, may be as much as 25 minutes. Very hard to say.

I think everyone, anyone who reads this would do the same . . .

As far as CPR - there's classes online. I just took one for my coast guard license renewal.

Phil, Thoughts and Prayers to you. I had a very unfortunate incident also. We had a a set of 11-12 YO twin boys that lived next door to our family farm. There was a couple acre lake on the adjacent property. One year a couple of days after Christmas they had gotten a remote control truck and decided to take it down to the frozen pond and drive it around. It ended up getting hung up on a few limbs sticking up in the middle of the pond. One of the boys went out to retrieve the truck and fell through the ice. My BIL found the other brother standing along the road screaming... We grabbed our canoe and broke ice all the way to the middle of the pond to get him but he had quit moving by the time we got there, by the time we got him back to shore Fire Department and EMT's were on site... unfortunately he didn't make it. It sucks but you can find peace knowing you did all you could. Don't second guess yourself and just know that you did all you could at the time.

I attended the event with 3 of my vets and sat with Father Gary that morning at breakfast. He was very interested in how I became a fly fisherman and listened intently. He was a great guy and a good friend to Project Healing Waters. He will be sorely missed and now will be listening to those other great fishermen who followed our Lord Jesus. God bless you, Phil, and your family for all you do for our veterans.

Phil Lilley, in my opinion, contributes more good to the area than anyone . . . He has become a one-man "NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH" force, a supplier of maps to help all of us negotiate the sometimes-threatening waters and familiarize us with the various markers and holes along the way, a composer of extremely detail and current fishing reports often accompanied with video and technique and on and on and on . . . extremely helpful and willing to go out of his way to simply improve the Taneycomo experience for all of us . . . Phil, I hereby crown thee the true "MR. T" (T for Taneycomo, of course)

Taking a CPR/First Aid course is so worthwhile. Hopefully you will never need to use it, but there is satisfaction in knowing that you have the knowledge. Phil and Marty, it is with sadness that you had to apply your knowledge. If I am ever in need, I hope there are people of your caliber around.
