Alcohol and Boating Don't mix

I know this did not happen on the lake but there is a boating lesson to be learned.

At Fort Myers Beach a boat got stuck on a sandbar. In the area where the accident happened there is a sandbar about 50 feet offshore that runs parallel to the shore. The depth varies between 1 and 3 feet depending upon the tides.

The operator trimmed up the three outboards and tried to power off of the sandbar. A woman attempting to push the boat fell into the moving propellers.

A sad story and a tough way to go.
