Sadly, an 18 year old girl drowned on the weekend. She was out in a canoe with her boyfriend. He was paddling and she was playing her guitar. They weren't even far from shore. But the canoe capsized, tossing them into 6 feet of near freezing temperature water. Ironically they were almost on top of a sandbar. The guy was barely able to walk to shore because of the extreme cold. She didn't make it. If only they'd been wearing life jackets the results may have been better. So please always wear your life jacket when boating.
