Re: Water drag, gas lift and skeletal element weight. WAS Fastovsky vs Archibald

I did search & rescue for about 17 years, mostly drowning recoveries.  We 
also used the term 'bloat & float', and called our recoveries either 
bloaters or floaters depending upon how long it took us to find them.  The 
mechanics and timing of lift off and subsequent movement are interesting, 
not entirely intuitive, and somewhat different for rivers and lakes.
