This story has some truth, but has been mixed up some as it gets passed around.
There was a boat wreck here this spring, but it was three weekends back, on April 21st. It also did not involve any participants in a tournament, although there were two that day; one legal and one not.
There was one person with injuries consisting of scrapes and bruises, and a broken arm and some broken ribs. He was thrown from his boat and was not wearing a PFD. I’m not sure if he could swim or not, but he could not in his injured condition. Passersby pulled him from the water and brought him to shore, probably saving his life.
Thanks Mike. I know anytime you here a story there are several truths in them.
