You deserve a medal Jeff!! Great example of brotherhood on the water 👍

Any idea why they ventured so far out even with winds picking up?

Pumped it out, got him in and peddled him back him in tow. Took 3hrs. My legs were toast by the time we got back in.

Forecast was calling for 10mph winds with 14mph gusts with rain all day the night prior. They got the rain right but was far off on the wind. It didn't help that the wind was blowing due west
