    Barren boating accident last week

    http://www.barrenriverblog.com/2017/...boats-damaged/

    Anybody know any details? The guy that got ejected into that cold water with his boat circling was a lucky man.

    I would guess coming through the notch between Baileys Point and the dam. I can see making that tight turn coming through there and getting blinded by the sun. People are always coming through that notch at tight angles and all over from right to left no matter which way they are going. Have seen a couple of close calls coming through there.

    Probably had his nose buried in his GPS and wasn't paying attention, happens all the time on KY Lake. About like texting and driving.

    If it's as described, the afternoon sun in that area this time of year can be brutal!
