Anyone talk to Gino?

I was wondering if anyone has talked to Gino?
For those that do not know, when Aquamania flipped in testing, Gino was idling around his dock area, saw the flip and went to help. On his way out, a Fountain was blasting through the channel and they nearly crashed. I spoke with one of Gino's good friends that night and was told he had chest pains and that he was taken to the hospital but he was going to be alright. How does this always happen?! Get well Gino!
 
I was with part of their crew this morning and we were talking about the crash but no mention of any complications...

Hopefully that was a good sign.

Anyone have more updated info ???
 
Thank you for the concern, I'm fine. When we saw our buddies on AquaMania go over we jumped in the boat to go and help. On the way out a Fountain was coming straight at us at high speed with the driver watching the accident and not where he was going. We were going to slow to get out of his way but thank God the Fountain driver looked up and turned away at the last second. About 2 seconds later my difibrulator went off and shocked me. I guess between the panic of Aquamania going over and then the shock of the fountain it overloaded my heart. We went from trying to help to needing help in 2 seconds. Very scary. I normally know my limitations. Thank godness I hadn't jumped in the water yet.
I felt better about 30 minutes later and headed home.
Thanks to everyone for all the concerened emails and messages!!! I fel like a hundred bucks!:)

Plus the boat made it all the way down, and came home running.....:26: :03: :26:
 
Glad all is well Gino! Nice to know even with a bum heart; you have such a big one and wanted to get out there and help!

Some times the best thing to do is nothing; adding to the chaos could cause more harm than good. (hope I don't mean to come off being a pr1ck saying that).
