My bad, Those who were rescued were wearing life vests, the man was not. My prayers go out to his family.

So much is left unwritten, there was practicly no wind last evening, how were they thrown into the water? On WKOW news a 10pm, it was reported that all were wearing life jackets, how does a grown man go missing in the water with a life vest on?
