    Don't get closer to a dam than you can paddle to shore :!:

    "MCMINNVILLE, Tenn.- Two brothers are happy to be on dry land after teetering at the edge of a dam for hours. when the motor on their fishing boat died. The current in the water was so strong that it swept the boat to the edge of the Barren Fork River Dam. Luckily, someone on land saw them and called for help.
    The temperature of the water is about 48 degrees, so there was a concern for hypothermia among other things, if the men were to fall into the water."
