Fatality on the Cuyahoga
 

TCT,
This extremely tragic story speaks to the perils of the combination of high water, cold water, and boating alone in those conditions. Although the story doesn't specify the river conditions, it's a safe bet that the river was running high and cold after all the rain on the previous Friday. And it also appears, although it is not stated, the kayaker was boating alone. Deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Maher.

I stopped in kent Sunday on my way to cuyahoga falls
The river was moving
About 1900cfs.
I won't do the whitewater section that high
What a shame for him and his family
