Did you hear they found the Aggie keel?

No (holding tank contents)? *This is going to be very interesting if it

That's the worry of many. The boat was given to A&M by George
Mitchell. Mitchell's son owns Cape Fear. Infact he bought two boats
and gave them to A&M. Most likely Mitchell is one of A&M largest
supporters. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. My guess is the
**** is going to roll downhill and the blame will be put on the repair
outfit that fixed the keel after the boat grounded.

There are still unanswered questions about gear aboard.
Why was the raft not deployed? Was it below? Did they even have one?
Why did they only have 4 life jackets?
Why did the USCG turn around a boat in 6 ft seas?

I guess this year the cadets at A&M will learn alot from Roger Stone's
loss and heroism.

Hopefully the lessons will be carried forward into the industry.

Amazing they found the keel the first day looking for it.
