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.
