I've been thinking about Louie Stalthanee's disappearance and how Fir Island is such a tricky spot. It's vast and isolated, but I wonder how frequently people actually visit there. Is it usually safe for boating? Locals might have insights about hidden currents or sandbars that aren't well-documented. It makes me curious if there could be environmental clues that were overlooked back in 1996. Anyone familiar with the area have any thoughts? Could changing weather patterns in late summer have played a role, perhaps creating unexpected conditions on the water? It seems like a detail worth revisiting with fresh eyes.
