It is sad, but just glad they got some closure for the families.

Not to be disrespectful in any way, but swimming?

Not to be disrespectful in any way, but swimming? Probably more like just jumping in…. Maybe not! |

I understand from a couple posts on FB of boaters that were there it was a group on a pontoon boat. They were jumping in (on a dare?) and the wind blew the boat away from some of the jumpers/swimmers. Other boaters came to their rescue and plucked some out of the water. These two didn’t make it.
That’s here say …

Here is what one poster on FaceBook posted.
…..it was a double deck boat. 10-15 people in the water for approximately half an hour. They got spread out into 100-200 yard area and couldn’t get back to the boat from the wind. A pontoon and jet ski managed to save all but 2 and they was not wearing life jackets. Multiple boats and jet ski, including myself, was on scene prior to DNR / rescue boats arriving
