Hey Flip,what a trooper you were that day. If that was me feeling like you did there would not be enough guilt in the world that would have made me make that trip. it would have helped having a larger vehicle. That water was ICE cold I'm sure that would have woken you up, it did for me. I didn't see "little Elvis" for 2 days after that swim.
I wonder if ambulance ever got fixed and put back into service.
