The boat was a Soling. The spot was Brewster Spit, though I'm not sure how close to the
island it was. Somewhere north of "kelp ledges" on the chart. IIRC it was October,
maybe 91 or 92. I believe they stayed with the boat and it was an unseasonably cold,
nasty night.

In this particular case I was surprised that they went "outside" late in the
season
without charts or flares.

These people died in an open boat in ONE night? What were the conditions? How
small was the boat?
