Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

Thanks for the link Mike.  I learned something new from this article.

Great article.  I learned to recognize this from my surfing and scuba days.  Just because a wetsuit helps you float in the water doesn't mean you can't drown or be in distress.  An easy wave, hello, radio check, or call sign is usually enough to check on someone.  If no response, then it doesn't take much to check on someone in close proximity.

I once almost drowned in Lake San Nacimiento: After a full day of water skiing, tubeing, diving and having a good old time playing in the lake with my family friends, we were going to take one last ride on the tube. As we prep for the run my brother Anton, Captian for the day, throws in the tube but didn't realize the tow rope wasn't fully connected. Since it wasn't no more than a few feet away from the boat, I jump in head first without a PFD to retrive the tube. A surface breeze picked up and took the tube further than I could swim and I started to cramp up and wasn't able to call for help. I started drowning! Lucky for me, Bro recognize that I was in trouble and started up the boat and rescued me just in time. So, this article you shared is a really good reminder to keep an eye out for one another when playing in or near water.
