A genuine tragedy, leaves us all reason to pause. All us solo anglers need take note, and are doing so.
Bet if my Ex caught the reports she was probably wondering/hoping it was me.
I've always prided myself on being a strong swimmer. Used to race, but I'm older now, redistribution of wealth has it's impact on a body as it "matures". I'm NOT in shape, and I cramp easy enough just sitting in the boat, or hell - rolling over in bed!
I always have a life jacket, but don't always wear it, especially on small waters. BUT this proves, even 13 FOW can be deadly. Need to actually try the 'climbing into the boat' game also My low-riding flat-bottom shouldn't pose the kind of challenge a taller ski boat would. But installing a ladder or step could provide simple comfort.
Rest in peace, and condolences to the family and friends. Your loss will serve to help others increase their own caution and safety measures.
