And as for your life jacket remark, life jackets are not required to be worn, nor are they regularly worn on boats of this size.

Your take?

Also if this particular ship was on an hour cruise it didn't even leave the major hub of Lake George. It went out half hour and then back. The shore is never far away and most of the water in that area is QUITE shallow.

I am curious to wonder if some speed boating was under way.
I am also curious to wonder if some giant speed boat was there unexpected and took over the lake with no regards to anyone.

If that is the case then this is really sick.

But as I have said in prior posts accidents happen.

Tragic all around. I would still hate for LG to get bad press over this.

EVERY Coast Guard personnel
be it Regular, Reserve, Auxiliary
or Civilian Employees are required to
wear a PFD when on a Coast Guard
or Coast Guard Auxiliary
vessel underway.

I hear the bar broadcasts up here in Oregon.

Last week a skipper of a charter boat lost his life when his vessel sunk.

He tried crossing the bar at Winchester Bay,
despite Coast Guard radio warnings not to.

He wasn't wearing a PFD eihter.
