For me, I was in a very similar situation (decision point) not so long ago with my two granddaughters --- my decision should have NO bearing on what you decide to do.

You do what YOU feel comfortable with -- you are QUITE familiar with this Lake now & also the area where you commonly boat. You have experienced the Lake at its best (glass) and it's ugliest.

Yeah, I get that, but there is a lot to learn from people who have had the experiences I am about to.

For example, I appreciate the comment above that points out the damage that might happen from a fall as a consideration beyond just the swimming ability.

That reminder will certainly shape how we proceed.

And thanks for the vote of confidence!
