| Lake of the Woods can be a very dangerous body of water, especially boating at night. I am here and this is very sad.

More than water temps I'd say its being fully clothed with possible jackets, boots, the works, as the article says they took off at 11:30PM so it was probably pretty cold. Swimming in t-shirt and jeans is hard enough. Sad Deal indeed. |

I think it was also very, very windy that night.
And it's probably not fair to speculate, but I do wonder whether alcohol was a factor in the whole thing ( decision making, running the boat, reactions, etc..) |
