Richard, Vero Beauchemin was right behind this group and came across the rescue in progress. It was quite traumatizing apparently and the guy didn't make it.
Pretty sad I have to admit. I'm glad to see this news story does explain the overall situation fairly well. I'm also glad to hear they were planning on having a drink in his honour.
If I go this way, I'd want everyone to do the same! Dying doing what you love.
But I'll put my efforts in avoiding such a situation wherever possible. I'd rather be able to paddle for a long, long, long, long time!
