We had a drowning last night

[elm creek]

Very sad deal, we had a family staying with us and they went out fishing last night. When they came in from fishing the dad and two kids got out to get the truck, he left the wife and 7 yr old in the boat at the dock. Some how the boat came untied and started floating out he ran back down the ramp and jumped in and started swimming after it.The wind was blowing 25+ about then and of course the boat acted lke a sail and he couldn`t catch it. The game wardens said he wasn`t a strong swimmer according to the wife. Prayers go out to the family
