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.....

True. I've been out on the lake at night or at least past sunset, and
I even shut my instrument lights off so they're not glaring bak at me.
Ocassionally I flip them on to check the tach, oil pressure and water
temp, but that's at a quick glance then back off they go. Oh yeah, I'm
occasionally lurking around with a hand held 3 mil. candle power light
too.

I feel better at doing so.

better visability.
