Alright y'all, so this video might be a little tough to watch. It's been making the rounds a bit already so you might have seen it. But here's the deal. I know this guy and have for a few years now. This was in my cove on Lake Lanier, and well, I was the blue/white Supra Boats SA400 that picked him up and took him to shore where the EMTs had been called. Then went back and picked up his wrecked Jetski to drag back to shore so his crew could get it loaded up. It was absolutely crazy.
I am SO THANKFUL TO GOD ALONE for saving this mans life that day. OK, I'm thankful for his friends being right there to immediately assist him, calling EMTs, and flagging us down to come assist as well.
Dillan rides very well and is very experienced. He and his crew oare out in our cove all the time. He was using precautions with a PFD and a chase rider. He was not drinking. He's done that trick 1000 times. The one thing he couldn't account for was passing out unexpectedly from a unknown health issue. That's never happened before. Yes he's lucky to be alive. The way he somehow ended up threading that needle was nothing less that God alone. Sometimes crap happens even to people that are taking precautions.
I'm thankful his friends were there to help. We were nearby and they asked us to help pick him up on our boat and bring him across to shore where the EMTs were arriving. Dillan is a good guy. I'm so incredibly glad he's OK and praying he can get whatever happened that caused him to pass out figured out, pronto, so hopefully he can get back out there and we can throw him some more waves behind that Supra!!
