How to cheat death:
Learn to swim.
Put on a life preserver
Don’t take a small boat out in 16ft swells
I remember going out in a 14ft boat similar to theirs on Lake of the Woods in Minnesota by the Canadian border.
We were in the bay where it was calm where Rainey River starts from. You could see the white caps on the lake outside the bay.... No way way would I dare go out. I also saw a large boat go by us heading into the lake.
The lifeboat hanging off the back end looked like our boat!

That was a large lake bigger then all of Minnesota’s lakes combined but it is a small small drop compared to the ocean. What were these guys drinking?
We went out in March on a huge cat. We had 10 ft swells with 3-4 ft waves on top of them. Quite the woohoo! ride. lol
I can’t imagine being on a small boat. These guys were really stupid....and lucky. They should have listened to the warnings.
