Fatality

There was a boating incident in the Gippsland Lakes today. I can't say anything else ATM.
If you are on a vessel on the water, have at minimum the compulsory safety equipment.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

I think most of the details are out on the media now.
Very small vessel. Rolled it over in the lake. 2pob. One didn't survive.
