"Lake Michigan Claims Another Kayaker" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:17:16

During the time Connie was on and in the water winds were about 10 miles and hour from the northeast veering gradually to the south. Waves were about 1 foot high. The air and water temperatures were in the mid-50s. What was unusual about the day was a dense fog. The fog was so dense that an experienced CASKA paddler who planned to put in at another location turned back at the water’s edge because of the fog. It is only speculation at this point whether fog was a contributing factor in Alton’s death. The news reports indicate that Alton was not wearing her PFD even though she had it along with her. There is no indication that she was wearing immersion wear such as a drysuit or a wetsuit. CASKA has asked the Lake County Sheriff and Coroner for more information but they have not responded to date. A about the incident in the Daily Herald continues a particularly distressing quote from the Coroner Richard Keller: The kayak and a floating lifejacket were also recovered as a part of the search and rescue effort that consisted of two Coast Guard boats from Kenosha. Wis and Wilmette Harbor. Ill as well as a rescue helicopter from Waukegan. Ill. Recovery efforts were coordinated with the Lake Bluff Police and Fire Departments. As kayaking and canoeing continue to rise in popularity among outdoor enthusiasts particular attention should be given to precautionary measures that need to be taken with these types of water activities. Personal flotation devices such as lifejackets should always be worn properly at all times and float or trip plans should be given to local marinas family members or friends. In addition to lifejackets appropriate clothing and/or foul weather gear should be utilized especially during the early months of the summer when the water temperatures remain in the low fifties. In those conditions with the wrong type of clothing or protection survival times can be limited to 2-6 hours. Alton’s death underscores how each paddler must take responsibility for taking appropriate safety precautions before paddling including wearing one’s PFD dressing for immersion and having a VHF radio and/or phone to summon help. Alton’s death also challenges paddling clubs like CASKA to do a better job of reaching out to offer more group paddling opportunities to paddles resigned to paddling solo. Some might find solace in that Alton died doing one of the activities she clearly valued most in her life. Nevertheless her death at age 52 came too soon. Sorry to hear about another kayaking fatality. Very nice job on the repsonse to the cornoer. We kayakers who belong to clubs are accused of 'preaching to the choir' when it comes to safety stuff. It would appear in this case that one of the choir members failed to heed the sermon. I think we get over confident in our abilities at times and neglect that which we are well aware of. Again sorry to hear about the fatality and keep up the good work.
