The wife and I were rescued by this air team.
These guys are awesome !
We had been stranded for 9 and a half hours.
We made it to the boat 3 hours before the Guard arrived.
We were soaked and near hypothermic.
We couldn't reach Our house.
We were in a van for 6 plus hours but the rivers were rising.
So We hit the ice water for one last pull to the boat to save Our lives.
