With all the water you can enjoy surrounding the Door Peninsula, emergency personnel hope you take the extra time to do so safely. On Saturday, emergency personnel tended to two water rescues on opposite sides of the peninsula, one at Cave Point County Park and another off Bay Shore Drive in Sister Bay. In the latter incident, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht said the accident occurred when the boater potentially took too tight of a turn or caught a wave at the wrong time and capsized. The boat's occupants were able to tow it to shore and right the vessel as emergency personnel arrived. 

With the summer winding down, Hecht reminds boaters that the lake and the bay should not be treated like an inland body of water.

The two water rescues come as crews continue to search for 32-year-old Billy Salnik, who has been missing since his boat capsized near Chambers Island over two weeks ago. Volunteers on both sides of the bay have organized searches for Salnik, but they have been unable to locate him.
