pigeonfisher Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The photo attached to the article is earily reminiscent of a scene during my brother in laws stag party in the French River. We were only recovering from hangovers though. I can't imagine what these young men must be feeling. Canoe Dot CA Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookslav Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 dang... The mouth into Arnolds bay has some wonky currents I can only Imagine the volume and speed of water right at the falls. Not a place to swim for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Panic... I think ( not knowing how rough this water really is ), that their first instinct was to head straight for the closest bank, resulting in panic and loss of great amounts of energy... Should they have beeen dragged down further down stream into calmer water things may have changed? Regardless, this is a tragic story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
