I know the article states that charges could be pending, but just from
what is gathered by the article, there's a lot that isn't known.

the victims were fishing way off shore at about midnight. Nothing is
said about proper nav. lights or at least lighting in general , or
night visability conditions..

At least the people that rammed them hailed for help and stayed around
to search.

but any way you look at it, , it still isn't good.

Legal questions will surround whether or not the Hewes was at anchor
or making way or not and what sort of lights it may or may not have
been displaying.

The big question surrounding the Bayliner is whether or not they had a
lookout.

Really bad luck and bad news.....



Whatever happened to that sailor on the left coast whose boat was rammed
from behind by a cop in a fast power boat? A passenger in the sailboat
was killed, and the sailor was arrested. Read to me like a typical cop
frame up job.
