smerchly Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 This spot reminds me of the Dunnville dam as I would expect to see now after all the rain lately . Wearing a life jacket can save lives under these conditions .This video gets the heart pressure up and fortunately there were other boaters who saved their lives . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UElsFdNj1D0 Bubba14 and Port_D_Guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Crazy video. always wear a life jacket. You can’t even tell you’re wearing the new ones. I don’t know what these guys were thinking. Get flipped in the boat or jump out and swim to shore. Easy decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted April 16 Author Report Share Posted April 16 There's a spill way at the 12 just 100 yds. south of 4th Ave. and I believe there was a drowning there many years ago when a rafter got caught in the hydraulic undertow. Those guys lost their gear but lived to buy new gear , good tradeoff ! The boat/motor should see happy days again too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 I watched that video yesterday PDG and there's many others as well . Many boaters are not aware of the dangerous 'undertow' from the dam spillways . If he wasn't wearing a 'life' jacket ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
