Forward momentum just carried us right over and, as you saw the water approaching it is just one of those, you hold on as tight as you can and just a white flash and cold water. It was definitely cold this time of year. We are able to, to be very assured that there's nobody else in the water. So, we have discontinued any rescue or search efforts.
