Another tragic case (posted on another site), totally avoidable....
[link=http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/capital-land/2011/07/man-rescued-germantown-lake-dies]Don't swim for your boat!!![/link]
Another not-too bright reporter on that story by not understanding why someone could drown in "only' 8-10 feet of water.
I was kind of surprised that Misshydro's husband Joe "Joseywales" didn't post anything about his near-drowning earlier this week as another RC boat tried swimming after his dead boat and started ot drown. Joe jumped in to save him and was nearly a victim from a panicked swimmer. Fortunately he got him to calm down and got him back to shore. Joe called me later that night to tell me what happened and was still shaken hours later after the incident.
