Hudson River jaunt turns into misadventure for Kansans

They weren't in Kansas anymore.Four men from the Sunflower State experienced some rough waters on the Hudson River Monday evening, causing the homemade pontoon they were riding to overturn.The accident brought out the East Kingston and Ulster Hose fire departments, their marine units and members of the Kingston police and Ulster County Sheriff's Office as well as other emergency personnel.

The incident happened at 6:02 p.m in the vicinity of Robert Post Park.The four men on the boat, Dick Schremmer of Derby, Kansas, High Temperature Hose,and Bobby Joe Cox, Mark Lawrence and Jeff Pritchard, all of Wichita,  were all unharmed.East Kingston Fire Chief Bill McDermott said the men were standing on top of the boat when the fire company arrived.Firefighters brought the men to shore at Charles Rider Park and then secured and recovered the pontoon.

The China Accessories manufacturers said he and his friends have taken the boat on the Cumberland River in Tennessee twice, as well as on the Arkansas River and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway on Louisiana's Gulf Coast, and nothing like this has ever happened before.
