Looks like he wasn’t wearing a leash either. Even good swimmers should wear a pfd. I’m sorry for the family but this could have easily been avoided.

Advice not just for paddlers. Boaters, too; even highly trained individuals hired to control invasive species. The video says it all:

Water temperature was reported at 62F that day. The Boston Whaler was filmed at my launch site to Sturgeon Bay. I know I’m going to think of Michael Kandel when I paddle there.

The writer of that article should be flipping burgers somewhere. It’s a great example of how not to report news. None of it made sense.

Unfortunately, it seems the “Journalist” is heading in the direction of the dinosaur?

That’s true. Unfortunately they don’t pay much anymore so all the good writers are doing something else for a living. My brother was a well-paid sports writer for decades, now he works for the court system while some yahoo right out of college does his job.
