Yesterday I warned about the dangers of Lake Michigan. Sure enough, a few hours later, a girl was swept into the lake. Fortunately a boat was passing by right when it happened. The rescuer in the video stated, “Lake Michigan is no joke.” A video everyone should view before they decide to walk out onto piers with high waves.
So far this year, as of yesterday, 27 have drowned in Lake Michigan. More than half the combined deaths for all the Great Lakes combined.
Today we wandered down to the pier. The waves were forecast to build more as the afternoon progressed, but already dangerous. Even in paradise, bad things can happen if you don’t respect the lake.
