 Boaters...  there has been a tragic loss in the paddling community.  Allen Satcher of Portland lost his life on Cherry Creek over the weekend.  He was a fun and energetic person who alway had a smile.

What a tragic incident, so sad.

There are some specifics on the incident here: http://www.mountainbuzz.com/forums/f11/we-lost-allen-satcher-39246.html

I was wondering about "whirlpool" too, but after seeing pictures of the feature it seems like a reasonable description.
