To the couple in the blue raft and their kayak team for saving my bacon today on the Upper Green. Had a stupid but long and painful swim in the shallow (bang, bash, boom) rapid above Pipeline, with the giant logjam on the right and big waves on the bottom on left.

You folks got my boat and me, and for that I am both humbled and appreciative. May the river gods smile on you, a sacrifice has been made to the river deities.
