Sadly we lost a couple of guys this past weekend on the Potomac. The initial "unofficial" report is that they apparently hit an object in the water and were ejected from the boat. It appears that the current was moving pretty rapidly and these guys were not wearing PFDs. If you been around the board long you know I am a big advocate of the use of PFDs.
