The body has been found. It also appears that the boat was anchored and
got overturned by a wake.

Question to the experts (which I am not)? Could this have happened
because the anchor rode was too short or was it just inevitable?

(Personally, I would never anchor in the canal, but that's because canals
just don't seem to be the right places to anchor out.)

State Fish and Wildlife officials confirmed today that a body of a man was
recovered this morning from the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal near the
spot where a New Jersey boater disappeared Sunday night.

The body, which has not been identified, was found about 8:45 a.m. in the
vicinity of a Sunday night boating accident in the canal about a mile west
of Summit Bridge Road.

Kevin “Darby� Stewart, 49, of Salem, N.J., disappeared after the anchored
boat he was in capsized in the wake of a passing tugboat and barge. Rescue
workers have been searching for his body.

DNREC spokeswoman Joanna Wilson said the body has been turned over to the
state Medical Examiner's Office to determine the man’s identity.
