Thanks stupid people and lawyers...

    There were a lot of pleasure boats and jet skis zipping up and down the river while we swam. I believe this is one of the reasons fast Safety boats are needed. One of the duties of a Saftey boat (not an Escort boat) is to block pleasure boats and make them aware that there are swimmers in the water. Another duty is to quickly extract an injured person to the closest extraction point on land. If you want to see a high speed chase, go see the new Die Hard or rent the original Gone in 60 seconds. If you want a safe escorted swim keep your escort boat close and slow. I believe the 8 Bridges uses kayaks as escorts. Dave, please correct me if I am wrong.
