Boat crash

This entire situation is quite sad, and hopefully the lone survivor will be able to provide investigators some valuable information to assist in the investigation.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families involved.

Please post any information concerning funeral arrangements for Hal and Jim when these become known. We have lost longtime East Bear Island neighbors and friends in this unfortunate tragedy. 🐻

Each time there is a tragedy on the lake it sticks with me a little and I try to learn something from it. For instance, when the boater backed into his son on Paugus bay two years ago I decided to always shut down instead of going to neutral when there is someone in the water and I don't start up until I do a head count.
But i don't see a lesson in this accident. Two expert and experienced boaters in the wrong place at the wrong time in circumstances that would be hard to duplicate. So sorry for the families of these fine men.
