Wind picked up some more, so I decided to head back to the landing. Once on the main lake, the wind was serious out there in the open water. Swells so huge I couldn't see the horizon unless I was on the crest of a swell. Reminded me of the Gulf. Scared me silly - believe me folks, nothing scares me, but that did. Steering this way and that to negotiate the swells. Finally made it back. I have learned to respect that big body of water.
    same happened to me on TB also....when I go now, I do not get out of the cove where I am staying...and I got a big boat....

    Thanks Shadow for bringing this up. As a former wildlife agent, some of the worst times I spent on the job was dragging for someone that drowned due to a boating accident or ignorance. When people test fate, fate almost always wins.

    Please everybody listen to what these guys are saying.You cannot call it back if it happens to you.My son and i were going duck hunting a few years back and did not have pfds.Most of the people we see when hunting don,t have them either but let me tell you when a boat sinks and you have waders on you will think twice about it.I could have lost mine and my sons life that day over something so simple.So now we are faithful to wear them so everybody please dont leave them at home and if you dont own any buy some.

    I believe Shadow is correct, this topic cannot be stressed enouph! I personally know one great man who was in a boat with his family when a sinker log was struck by the boat. He was ejected and was never found. Its too simple to take 30 seconds and put on your life preserver considering an accident takes only moments. If you boat with me then its not an option, if its a problem then maybe you should stay at the launch. I value everyones own right to wear or not wear in their own vessel but for those who chose not too please answer this. What possible harm can come from wearing?
