We tend not to hang out at sandbars, and rather will swim (get wet to cool off) in deep water. We always take one of our lines and hold it while we are in the water. Even on a relatively calm day, the wind blowing at 5 MPH can probably move the boat faster than I can swim. Tough thing with 3 foot waves, even if you have hold of a rope, is getting back in the boat with its pitching and rocking!

Deepest sympathies to the families and friends involved.
