Swimmer Presumed Drowned down from Great Falls June 14th
I don't understand why people would risk their lives like. Why didn't the friends/family stop them?!? There were reportedly ~45 people in the search and rescue.

3 adults. One very small dingy. One under powered trolling motor. No registration. No paddles or oars. Took off from Algonquian and motored down river. River was up but heading down.
I recommended they go up river first, then if the battery runs out, float down to the dock.
They knew better
