I usually don't get on the general forum but did this morning. As you & I both know John, Lake Erie can change quickly. I would have never taken that thing out but they did. I looked at the weather paterns the same week I read it. The lake was pretty good wind wise the entire week except for that Tuesday afternoon when it the wind increased in about 2 seconds. The rest of the entire week was fine.it was just bad timing or poor luck on their part but the did get lucky when that boat came by so save them. Herb
