Sinking

[ishoot308]

Just heard that a Mastercraft boat with 7 people on board got swamped in the wind and went down near Locke's Island. All were rescued safely from the water...none were wearing life preservers.

Before a tow boat could make it out there, the boat completely sank...

It is also being reported that someone jumped off a boat north of Diamond to retrieve something and never surfaced. My wife can see it from the house; there are 3 boats looking just south of Diamond now. An aerial search is being mentioned, but no helicopter in sight now.

Wow. Not a good boat for a windy day like today.

No official update, but lots of posts about bringing in a body at Ames Farm.

Heartbreaking for a young kid to lose his life like that.

On the Mastercraft--I did not realize that a modern boat could sink. I thought they filled them with so much foam that the gunwales would be at the surface. I hope someone can educate me here

It's so sad. A Mastercraft with four young men went by here yesterday headed out but I was glad to see in a few minutes they returned. Glad they were smart enough to do that..

Apparently the body of the young man was recovered last night around 7 P.M. My heart breaks for him and for his family. Life will never be the same for them. Tomorrow will mark 4 years since we lost our son unexpectedly. He was 54, smart, successful, and left a wonderful wife and our three almost perfect grandchildren. Anyhow, this sad story isn’t about us….it’s about that poor young man who sadly and unexpectedly lost his life yesterday and his grieving family.

People, especially young men, will overestimate their swimming ability for swimming by jumping from a boat into 63-degree water with big waves present.

Why cold water is dangerous ........ www.coldwatersafety.org/the-danger.

63-degree water temp is warm enough to slowly wade out into the lake, but cold enough to make you gasp and inhale water when jumping into it. That's because you test the water with your legs when wading and slowly get used to it, or decide to turn around and get out.

Same day as this 17-year old drowned in Lake Winnipesaukee ..... http://www.wcax.com/2025/06/22/vt-te...ng-into-river/ ..... an 18-year old drowned in a Vermont river.

This 17-year old ..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPpMyCUpbGi ....from Nashua who just recently graduated Nashua High School looks like someone who is very athletic and a high energy type person.

So, how does this drowning happen? It makes me think about covering the nose and mouth with your hand should you fall or jump into cold water to prevent inhaling water and then tough out the intense cold water.
