So tragic

[Mr.Havasu]

Just soo sad. My prayers go to the family.

[Lake Pirate]

Jeez... awful tragedy. Not sure what to say so I'll say nothing.

[eliminatedsprinter]

Too sad. It hits a little close to home, because I love to boat with my 10 year old son.

[Jrocket]

Its so hard to hear and read about stuff like this.I couldnt even come close to imagine what the families are going through.:frown:

[Dr. Eagle]

That was tough to read. All the more reason for everyone here to pay attention when you (and I) are out on the water. We all need to learn from these tragic events and make sure it doesn't happen to us or our families.:(

Exactly. Follow the rules of the lake. It's counter-clockwise rotation people.

[KACHINA KEN]

Sobering stuff folks, it is so easy to get caught up in the excitement and in a blink it spirals out of any control. Heart wrenching for this family, as I understand it there are now only 2 surviving members of the family.:(

[Kindsvater Flat]

Very sad to hear. Accidents happen but when they involve the young its so much harder to deal with...
