Survivor, Doug Welsh
In August 2007, Doug Welsh was boating on the Santiam River when his pontoon boat broke apart. His wife demanded he wear his life jacket. As his boat began breaking apart in the swift current, he remembered a message from a Lane County Marine Patrol officer explaining the importance of a proper fitting life jacket. He buckled up just in time. He fell into the water and was lodged in a strainer, losing consciousness. He remembers ”coming to” and spitting up a lot of water. After his self-rescue and a few days of recouperation, he left this message on the phone of the Lane County Marine Patrol. Very powerful account of a near tragedy.
