Somewhere there is a 16mm film of the original. I have posted this in the hope that the owner of the original film will see this. If so, please tell me to take this off, and I hope you post the original. The world should remember these events in river running and the fight to save our wild river experiences.

You need to know the risks, and be prepared… and even then, things can still go wrong. If you are thinking about doing extreme kayak fishing, then you need to understand that you are taking the risks upon yourself. I understand that, and accept that. I am not new to kayaking.
