Don't know all the particulars; apparently, a new inexperienced boat
owner and passengers. How tragic. So, if somebody asks you if a
boating course is necessary........

I looked up info on the dam, found some images of the dam,
looks like no beacons or markers on it or much warning of the edge.
I see by the report they knew of the dam,
but others may not, is that common ?


There is a low bulkhead dam (forgot what they call them) in Enfield CT
that has claimed many lives in my memory. Don't know about recently
but I can remember several incidents over the years.


Oh yeah - that's a real problem for guys not familiar with it.

Do you live in CT? I'm up in the NE corner.- Hide quoted text -

Yep, just northeast of Hartford. Out 84 a little for now. Have a small
place down near the shore, but we are up here taking care of my dad
for a few, hopefully many years! There's no frekin' water up here
though! Used to having it 5 minutes down the road.
