Flatwater and rowers

There's a nationally known 2000 meter rowing course on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge. The Flatwater Grill is located at the start of the course, and you can often see collegiate rowers practicing while you dine.

This week the US Rowing Club's National Championship is being held here, and some of the rowers were out early...

Here, mist rising off the river turns them into a scene from a horror film ... the team vanished, never to be seen again: what lurks in the mist?
