My buddy got in trouble Sunday near Bingen, dragged clear across the river to the OR side and couldn't get back. Unfortunately, his hide a key system worked because I couldn't find it. Two separate strangers offered to drive over, pick him up, and bring him back. May their valves never leak and all their boosts stick the landing.

No, he started at the Bingen sailboard launch area. He ran out of wind mid-channel but had enough juice to body drag to the Oregon side.
