Sadly a boater lost their life on Lake Martin. Perhaps this time instead of complaining about the cause or what the person was driving we can all take the time to say a prayer for the family that lost their loved one. The story is below.

Newnan woman dies in watercraft accident
LAKE MARTIN, Ala. (AP) -- A Georgia woman was killed Saturday on Lake Martin in a watercraft accident, authorities said.
Leann McKee Orell, 40, of Newnan, Ga., was pronounced dead Saturday at the Lake Martin Community Hospital.
The accident happened about 2:20 p.m. when Orell was riding her personal watercraft on the lake.
She apparently was traveling at a high rate of speed and entered too fast into a cove on the lake and tried to turn back into open water, said Alabama Marine Police Officer Mark Fuller. But the woman was not able to complete the turn out of the narrow cove and struck a wooden walkway on the lake shoreline, Fuller said, adding that Orell was in the area to visit relatives who lived on Lake Martin.
The accident marked the second death on the lake this year. On Memorial Day, a teenager from Talladega accidentally drowned, authorities previously said.
