The gentleman who was driving the boat resides on the north side of Rattlesnake Island and was returning from picking up his brother and sister-in-law on the mainland. This is a man who has been on the lake for more years than most of the people posting here. He has worked on the lake as well and still does construction projects for many local residents, including Rattlesnake Islanders.

He was attempting to reach his unlighted dock on the west side of the island and ran aground next to his dock. He has been hospitalized since the accident to the best of my knowledge. His brother and his wife were not injured as badly. How it happened I do not know but I am confident it was purely an accident which even very experienced boaters have on occasion.

Our prayers are for a speedy recovery Lyle.
