Default Lake George Capsize

There was nothing wrong with the stability of the boat. Why are you
blaming the vessel? It had been in use since the 1950's. The stability
issue has to do with accessive weight of the passengers. In
aviation...... the FAA considered the average human carcass to weight
170 pounds. That was in the 80's. I think it's actually higher now.
In the 1950's it was siginificantly lower. Weight in passeger
calculations weight and balance calculations are far more important in
aviation. You want to "supersize your order sir?" next time a
mcdonalds employee askes you that , think about the statistics before
you say "yes" The blame lies on human obesity. thats it.
bob, freind to capt. neil and like minded
fellows of the sea.
