On Saturday, April 9, 2011, at about 4-pm, a 62-year old man NOT wearing a pfd who was a full time, year 'round resident on Cow Island died in an accidental drowning at the Harilla Landing dock when his small Scat hovercraft flipped over, cold-shocking him into the icy cold, slushy water underneath, or something.
It's interesting to consider how an individual can readily wade out into the lake water in early April to install a dock or boat-lift, wearing just a swim suit and water shoes, out up to one's neck for a minute or two or maybe even five to ten minutes with no ill effects. It actually feels good for one's blood circulation after you return ashore. Is just wading out and not swimming in water out over one's head. It definitely helps to have a bright sunny day at the time.
