This afternoon, as we sat cooling off at the rural mooring by the campground here, the Gendarmes provided the entertainment.
The speedboat and helicopter zoomed up and down the river exchanging crew. The helicopter hovered over the moving speedboat and lifted one of the crew out and zoomed off. I think they tried a few times to put him back but in the end they just hovered low over the river and he jumped in for the boat to pick him up. They did this about ten times up and back and then went home. I suppose the skills will come in handy sometime but it looked like a fun way to spend a hot afternoon.
