I keep wondering why the boat did not head straight for shore. It seems that there would have to be beaches around and if not just run the damn thing aground.

I will admit I do not know the topography of the land around the lake.

He was trying to head for shore. DUKWs have 6 cal. engines and weigh 6 tons. And proceed at 6MPH on water. Not powerful enough to overcome the 60MPH + winds from the N. One DUKW made it. One did not.
