Seems like Carlyle Lake claimes at least 2 or three people per year.

Even thought this happened this past weekend, I just heard about it
today.

I don't know what happened, and my old dial-up won't download the
video.

But it seems that usually these things happen because somebody doesn't
wear a life vest.

I'm a good swimmer, but I don't go boating without wearing at least a
floatation vest,and nobody gets in our boat without wearing one either.


Always sad to hear news like this. It's been a long long time since I
have been on Carlyle. I seem to recall it has a lot of shallow areas on
it and can be rather trickey. I could be wrong, seems like it's been 30+
years since I was there. (I was just a kid)
