We warned people with children to stay away, but I'm sure if you were anywhere near the vacinity of the body there was no question of what it was. We stayed with 911 until they cleared us to leave and we were in contact with their people until the next evening when they were able to make contact with the family who were unreachable the day he emerged. Not trying to steal anyone's thunder but my sister saw this website & I just thought I'd respond. Of course we are very glad as well that the man was found & the family can finally start to experience some closure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010971.post-90659450081321705702007-08-12T12:49:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:49:00.000-04:00The man on the pontoon boat that warned you is my ...The man on the pontoon boat that warned you is my friend from NJ and I know him well. He did very well with the situation and I am proud to call him a friend in and after college we lived near water for sometime. He has learned rescue skills from associating with this Dive Team and its leader and it was good to see how well he handled the situation. I will be sure to pass on your comments to him...<BR/><BR/>Thanks...RightsideVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933540804900931601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23010971.post-77756683280082526102007-08-09T13:29:00.000-04:002007-08-09T13:29:00.000-04:00Thank you very much for posting this.

As we approached something "floating in the water" we were headed out to see what it was. We were then flagged down by the family in the pontoon boat who, luckily, told us that it was bad and make sure that we didn't bring our kids over there. Since then, I've wanted to thank that family for sparing our children from the sight that their children had to see. Although I know it was not pleasant for them, I'm glad that the man was found and can now be at peace and so can his family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
