What's your point? The "authorities" also haven't ruled out suicide,
heart attack, seizure, diabetic coma, a fall, and on and on.

I should have known better than to post something relating to boating

Interesting post. Sounds like both boats were under power.

I am no maritime law expert, but I suspect the surviving captain has some
answering to do. Leaving the scene not looking for the other boats
passengers to start. Since both are under power, some fault goes to both.
His argument leaving might hold, but safety over the boat.... will make an
interesting read when the reports come out.
