I went to school with Blain Whilhelm's daughter Beth...we lost a couple local men also.  I was in Ashland that eve, and went home along Chequamegon Bay about 11 p.m.  the bay is a shallow bay, and the waves were crashing up over U.S. 2 as I approached what is known as the "short Bridge".  I stopped and waited to time the waves, and took off on the 100 yard narrow stretch, so I would not be washed into the slough on the other side.  I cant imagine what the big lake was like.
