Common sense, water safety instruction (don't go in if you can't swim): another tragedy in Chicago early yesterday morning:

Experienced sailor and skipper decided to jump in for a 2 a.m. swim, along with his 3 passengers, leaving no one on board the vessel, which drifted away. Two women were picked up hours later by a fishing boat; skipper drowned, second man being searched for. (Unless it was foggy they should have been able to see the shoreline and buildings from 1-2 miles out. Many details are unclear.)
Condolences to the families.
