response to Parent:  I just can't see being critical of a couple
who nearly died. We all make mistakes sometimes. That is what
Rescue is all about.... Good work Tech Rescue Team, Medics
(Medshore?), AnMed, & esp the lady jogger who sourced binoculars
from the parking lot. Also, good work to this couple who swam to
shore in 53 degree water.. you're right.. you were a good
swimmer!  They should abso-friggin-lutely be getting criticized
for the mistakes they made. Their mistakes put other peoples
lives in danger as well as their own. They used poor judgment
and poor planning, as well as just plain not knowing what they
are doing. By showing them, and hopefully others, what mistakes
they made, they will hopefully not repeat them, and just maybe,
if we are really lucky, someone else will see the criticism and
make a better decision.  I have been paddling both in kayaks and
canoes in the vicinity of the Dam many times and in many
different weather condit
