Here's an example of a 13 foot open kayak. Essentially, a canoe. OK for going down a calm river in summer. Only an idiot would take one out into deep water far from shore.

Yep. These parents unwittingly committed familycide just as surely as if they all drank the kool-aid. Yet we are told how “tragic” it is, when the correct word is “stupid”.
Jeeze, maybe use this on a float trip or farm pond. If they were trout fishing on the Brule’ I would understand it.
About 35 years ago my wife and I took a trip to Northern Wisconsin. It was 90 degrees in the middle of summer.
We stopped in Cornupica Wisconsin, not far from the Madeline islands on the southern shore of Lake Superior. There was a park with an enclosed bay and a sand beach and we wanted to cool off.
The only other vehicle was a camper. Some people were walking up from the beach in wet bathing suits. We asked them how the water was. They were Brits and were wet. “The water is great you’ll enjoy it!” We got to the shore, she took off her shoes, took one step in the water and immediately jumped out. It was freezing cold. I tried it and got out immediately.
We did go and take a ferry to Madeline Island. There was really not much to see. A few houses, dirt roads, forests. We went back to the Ferry side of the island and stopped to look north across Lake Superior toward Canada. We watched a squall the blew up and within 5 minutes it was raining and the waves picked up. Heck, I was uncomfortable on the ferry back to the mainland.
