x100. Loses all effect after it has been pointed out. Thanks Rick for getting back into the water and apparently "JUST STANDING BY".

The fact is he did not save my life.... he didn't have to, but he could have if I was in serious trouble. The fact is "I" righted my kayak, an "I" climbed back on. Let's not forget Jorge was there too.

What saved me is simply being prepared. Having the right tools in the right place and having trained myself for just such a situation. Like Jorge said there are no heros here, everybody did what they were supposed to do, and stood by ready to help if needed.
I would think this would be a humbling experience for anyone but I guess "YOU" swallowed too much water and the saltiness just got "YOUR" head.
