PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Boaters on area lakes should use extra caution since strong winds
and rough waves can overturn small craft. Water temperatures are in
the 40s and it doesn`t take much time for hypothermia to develop if
you get dipped into the water. Wearing a life jacket significantly
increases chances of survival.
