Emotional and powerful.

Hopefully you're doing alright as well with all this?

We were sitting on patio at condo at Lands End when we saw the water patrol and rescue boats all head towards the toll bridge. We knew something bad happened and were hoping for the best. So sad to hear. RIP.

With the technology going into these machines and the quest to go faster how about a thought on safety devices for the boats themselves. Like nascar did when cars were barrel rolling and the added flaps to prevent that. These boats are so much fun and so dangerous but that's why we do it! My condolences to all involed. Sad times

We saw that rainbow from Dog Days. Seriously, probably the most impressive one I've ever seen.

Our condolences to the families and friends of these men.

Brad is one of my nephews really good friends. I have not met the owner but hear both are super people. My heart goes out to the family and friends of these two fine gentlemen.

Funny we took these about the same time as the accident. Can't figure this stupid phone out. I'm technology challenged like Richie but we took awesome pics of the rainbow and sunset from my Cig and I'll share them when I figure it out.
