Washington Boat Insurance

The water on Lake Tapps was warm

They piled their friends in the boat. After they were out not far beyond Tacoma Point, they decided to take a midnight dip. All four of them. Without thinking to throw out an anchor.

The wind blew up. The owner realized his mistake. By the time he began furiously swimming toward the boat, it had already drifted 50 feet. His lifeless body was found later floating near shore.

The owners wife and her best friend's husband made it to shore and called the Pierce County Sheriff. They searched until morning. Her body was pulled out of the water near Snag Island.

The boat was found near Driftwood Point.

The call about a lawsuit came a few weeks later.
