Just watched the local news just now and seen we had two high school coaches that went fishing yesterday had died from a boating accident. One was 68 and the other 75. No more details then that. Remember to wear you PFD especially in the winter when the water is colder.

You do not last long in water in the winter.

Take this,or not! You live long enough you are going to eventually experience a hazardous event. How prepared you are, and quick thinking is all you have to be able to survive it.

I suggest having a check list so every time you go out, you run down your list to make sure you are adequately prepared. You never know when a life-threatening event might occur. So, if you want to come home after a fishing or hunting trip, keep your wits about you and don't forget all the safety rules. Just Sayin...RJS

I read that too Gordon. A little sketchy on the details, I think maybe something more than an accident happen since no details came out.

I haven't heard anything new today. Only that they both were floating close to the boat. I do know that lake can get rougher then the ocean and we have been having high winds lately.

It didn't mention what type of boat and pending that, high winds could have tossed them. Still a little strange.

Autopsy scheduled for today. Maybe we'll get some more info. And I didn't see anything on how big the boat was. When I was pre teen I road waves on that lake on a surf board. Can get rough.

You hit that right on the button. As an Alaskan Guide to an Alaskan police officer, as well as having a bit of an adventurous nature, I have been through many situations that could have ended very badly. But with proper preparations, pre though and lists, they were just more adventures for the memory bank. Just a few included a close range bear attack and a boat fire. Stay safe all. If you play around water, It is not if, just when and how bad. Thanks Robert for your reminder. As we get older, it is easy to get lazy and not fully prepare.

On a lake or the ocean? If lake, what lake?

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD)- Two bodies were recovered in Lake Moultrie on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Berkeley County Coroner’s Office.

Coroner Darnell Hartwell said the bodies of two men were found in the water near Wampee in the Pinopolis area.

A resident first notified the coroner’s office after discovering a body floating near an unoccupied boat just before 2:00 p.m. and the second body was found in the area by fire department personnel during recovery efforts.

It is believed the men drowned while out fishing, but autopsies have been scheduled to determine their cause of death, according to Hartwell. He believes the men were in the water for a short period of time.

The two men were later identified as 75-year-old Jerry Stoots of Goose Creek and 68-year-old Lee Watkins of North Charleston.

Stoots was a well-known, longtime baseball coach in the Lowcountry.
