Sad story. Waconia is located 20 miles WSW of Minneapolis. Great town. Sounds like Andy went out to photograph wildlife on his paddle board on an unseasonably warm day in MN. 45 and sunny this late in the year brings out people in sweatshirts rather than winter clothes. He was wearing black pants, a new Adidas top and a black stocking cap. Unfortunately the lake water temps were in the low 40s and his flotation device was apparently attached to his board and not being worn. His board was found anchored but upright about 100 feet offshore with no sign of Andy. So far they've sent divers down, done sonar, ROVS, drone and helicopter flights, shore searching. No sign of him. Maximum lake depth only 44 feet.
