Bet it had a keel smile,

Hey Joe... what does that statement mean? As a layperson I'm just
not familiar with that term?

Wow... don't know the guy, but..

Jonathan... today... Latitude 38 had a pretty good presentation of
what
the situation is and the victim envolved.. and the measures that have
been
undertaken by the "coasties" S&R measures... which seemed kind of
thorough.

Since your are a local... at this particular hour... what is now
your take on
this dilemma?

I just re-read the article, and it's even more strange, given the benign
conditions... 4 ft seas are *nothing*, especially with light air. Either
this some kind of deliberate mis-adventure or it was something catastrophic,
but then there was no debris found. I suppose that's possible given the size
of the search grid, but it seems hard to believe.

If he hit a potato (in the patch) it ripped off the bolted on keel
and he sunk in just a few seconds. On top of that he was tethered to
the boat and was pulled down with her. Thats my guess. With such light
winds he was motoring at full speed.
