Rassman's story keeps changing-
From Kerry's eulogy of Mr. Belodeau on November 10, 1997
"...one of the Green Berets walked along the edge of the boat to get Tommy another M-60. As he was doing so, the boat made a high speed turn to starboard and the Green Beret kept going — straight into the river.

Then at the Dem Convention the story is this:
Rassmann gave a detailed retelling to the Oregon delegates. The former Green Beret remembered sitting on the deck of the pilothouse of Kerry's boat, eating a chocolate chip cookie, when an explosion under a nearby boat blew him into the Bay Hap River and caused Kerry to smash his arm. ref http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1091102126180900.xml

"A derailed retelling"???

Not so very detailed if Rassman neglected to mention WHY he was along for a ride.
