RIB Escape/Adventure Stories
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, but I'm a nonfiction writer and I'm working on a story about RIBs, particularly in tales of boaters using them heroically or in a narrow escapes (such as from bears, angry mobs, pirates, etc - sky is the limit). Does anyone here have a good real life RIB escape story (or especially adventurous story) they can share?
