I can't believe this. You would think that after all the weather reports the last three days, just one parent would have checked a weather report to prevent this.:smt021
A Police cutter off to the rescue......jeeez.

I saw this on the news, I could not believe that they would go out with all the bad weather we were having. I am just down the road from you, we launched my boat and the marina owners 32' (same day as this) and left them tied at the boat launch at our marina rather than risk taking them out of the launch channel and into the lake and back into the channel where our slips are. The wind sure was strong, it was clocked just under 100 kl (60 mph) on Cooks Bay most of the day.
