RedactedNarrative: While out in the middle of Sliver Lake near the north end, victim and friends were going to do some tubing from the rented pontoon boat for the afternoon. The pontoon was stopped and the engine shut off. The victim jumped in the water after the tube and line was in the water. When he tried to grab the tube and climb onto it, the tube tipped upward and air form the strong winds got underneath the tub and tumbled the tube away from the victim, it blew quite a ways away. 
  It should be noted that the weather conditions on the lake at the time were very traitorous with 30 mph wind gusts with sustained winds at apprx 23-25 mph and wave hgts of 2.5-3ft. The operator was having a very difficult time navigating the vessel as well as swimming to try to rescue the victim. After the tube blew away, the victim was beginning to struggle in the water and every time something was thrown into the water for the victim to grab it was blown away or rough waters forced items to move away from victim. 
  The vessel again drifted away from the victim, when the operator tried to again turn the vessel on to get closer to the victim, the vessel would not start. The rope used for the towing of the tube had gotten tangled around the propeller. Two others on the vessel flagged a nearby boater to assist with getting closer to the victim, one boater jumped in to assist holding the victims head above water and by then the owner came to aid with a jet ski with a rescue board. The victim at that point was face down and unresponsive. CPR was performed and victim was taken to the hospital.
