RedactedNarrative: Deceased and wife were boating and going to anchor v1 in a shallow area near lighthouse beach and then meet up with sons to tube and boat.  
  
  Deceased threw out anchor, but didn't like the position that the vessel would be anchored.  Deceased jumped out of v1 and started swimming to position v1 to anchor.  Deceased was having difficulty swimming and v1 was drifting.  
  
  Deceased asked to be thrown a pfd, but didn't want the one his wife was going to throw.  Wife then got a floatable seat cushion, but cushion was under a tied down tube.  Once the cushion was released and able to be thrown deceased was too far for the cushion to be thrown.  Deceased continued to struggle until he went underwater and didn't surface. At approx. 1550hrs deceased was recovered from lake huron.
