First off Codeman I'm glad you got to that one before me... It infuriated me that Mr. V even insinuated this mans state of sobriety without so much as a hint of that being an issue.

Second off my family had a home in that area on the lake for several years. We were there from 1988-2002 before my parents sold it. During that time I was in my late teens as I am 36 now. With no offense to the family here but even as a teen I knew not to use the sled in that area. Just like I avoided the area close to the Windward Harbor Boathouse, the Black Cat Bridge and the narrows by Salmon Meadow Cove, the Kona Boathouse was another off limits area. I recall that area being marked with the traditional BIG RED DIAMOND "THIN ICE" sign.

I was a risk taking teen and I knew where the off limits areas were. All I can assume is that this gentleman knew the same information but became disoriented in the dark and snow.
