There was a boating "accident" this evening. 2 dead, 2 missing and 6 made
it to shore in the river near Tracy, CA. 10 people in a 14' aluminum
skiff. No life jackets, alcohol may be involved. Sad. They were all from
Guatemala, and lived in Oakland. Some were relatives. The paper referred
to the driver as the "Capt." Clueless. The driver is in jail on
manslaughter charges and $400k bail. Hard to put the blame on him in my
estimation. They were all adults and should have some responsibility for
their own wellbeing.
What kind of stupid talk is that?
I bet a number of those people were never out in a small aluminum boat
before. Do you expect them to know the load ratings for that boat?
It's the owner, or captain, who is responsible for the welfare of his crew
and guests.
You gotta quit sippin' before noon.
Even as a kid I knew that even 5 people in a 14 foot boat was too
many.

I agree! All that Harry does is insult and call people names.
