Default Tragic Loss of Life on Lake Erie

I should have known better than to post something relating to boating
here.


I wouldn't worry about it too much - there are ignorant people
everywhere.

I'd like to thank you for posting the note - my brother lives just off
Lake Erie on the other side of Cleveland and we've taken our boat up
there for several lake runs - always a good time. *It just surprises
me that people go out running that late at night (approx 12:30 am),
presumably above 20mph, with MINIMAL lighting on the boat. *I'm sorry
that this resulted in a loss of life, but I can't imagine running
around in those conditions - even if there was a (near) full moon on
Monday.

I agree with you regarding the operators being out at such a late hour
and traveling at excessive speeds.

I would be surprised if it is determined that alcohol was not involved.
