Ryan from AL was the Guy in the Super and I was in the blue airhead.  There were very few people on the river Sat.  I was about to get in Calahans when I saw a man running down the river and was frantic.  He started waving and hollering at me from river right.  I then saw Jessie in the center of the river coming down.  I hollered at the few people around to help.  I was the first person to get to her and she grabbed my bow.  For a few seconds I tried to get her to grab my stern so I could avoud humongus.  She let go to grab it and was subbed about 3' down.  At that time Ryan got to us and she popped up closer to him and she grabed his bow/ grab loop.  We were very close to Humongus and it could not be avoided by ryan and jessie.  I caught the eddie right above as they went in so I could get to her if Ryan could not when she came out. She pulled his skirt and when he swam he grabed her as someone threw a rope to them. She was very tired and was having a very hard time staying above water. I am very glad we were able to help her when we did. Please tell her that I am glad she is ok.
