We just had a boat sink a couple days ago in Long Island Sound. The
very experienced boaters (all survived BECAUSE they were experienced)
were making what is normally two hour trip from Stamford up the coast
to there home marina. NOAA report told them to expect seas of 1-2
feet. They were rescued by Coast Guard who stated that seas were 7
feet. NOAA is OFTEN wrong, at least around here.

What kind of boat?
