Thanks for the correction on the date, Bob. I can be a bit behind the times.....

Here is a link to an article about the Lake Tapps accident that killed one and injured 7 others. "Death on the Lake:How it Happened"

Tuesday morning news from Seattle mentions the second Fatal boating accident in the week. High speed (looked like a tricked out board rider tow boat), ran over a 25-30 foot cabin boat from the stern, in the dark, taking the cabin top clear off the boat. One fatally injured, 2 seriously, and 9 people involved. Driver is arrested for dui and the boating equivalent of vehicular homicide.

Another reason I don't (usually) boat after dark.

On Lake Tapps I believe there is a 5 knot max speed limit after dark anywher on the lake. My partner has a cabin on Tapps and in the summer we here "go fasts" hauling you know what ALL the time after dark. Yet the Sheriff's boats are always out STRICTLY enforcing the "no rafting" law. Misplaced priorities IMO.
