Boat Sinks at Witches 8/1

I've been by the witches, I don't know how many times. But every time, I'm amazed at how difficult it is too see the markers and why more people don't end up on the rocks.

FWIW department: This accident had nothing to do with the markers. The captain stated he was not paying attention and was distracted.

Easy to be distracted, lots of autos hit the gravel on the side of the road every day and no big deal is made of it if none are injured. Most avoidable accidents are due to lack of attention as the case here.

The witches are pretty easy to avoid on a clear day if you are paying attention so I don't think that state of the markers was the cause. Also that is a heavy boat and it would not take much speed at all to result in the damage. No injuries and with time and $$ the boat will be back on the lake.
