All around bad situation.
Even in my big boat, i was on plane saturday coming around/under the weakley bridge and that wind hit just right as fast as it was and the nose was blown a few degrees tp the right and it almost felt like i slid a few feet over, like sliding on ice. After i slowed down and checked my pants, i eased it down lake till i was out of the direct cross wind. Had the PFD on but its still an eye opening experience....a little reminder to keep focused on whats going on/comimg up.

I had an uncle who drowned on Old Hickory while fishing back in the early 60's. When he didn't come home they went looking and found his boat....a fish on one rod laying in the boat. I don't recall how long his body was under water but it was a long time....months I think. As a matter of fact it was his brother who found him floating...badly decomposed....while out fishing on Old Hickory with his son. That had to be hard to take.
