Where is James?!

Had a late morning start. James and I decided it would be a good idea for me to start swimming ahead to warm up while he finished loading up the kayak. It takes ten minutes max. to load the kayak so neither of us thought much about it. After a half hour of swimming without seeing him I slowed by pace. That half hour turned into an hour and a half and I decided to wait on one of the river islands. I waited an hour on the island realizing I had no food, no water, and no sort of communication. Just me, my wetsuit, and my goggles! I decided to walk upstream and after a quarter of a mile, there he was− napping! At least he was making the best of the situation! He thought there was no way I could have made the progress I did and he decided to wait for me.
