The water was choppy, but not a problem for a boat that size. It began to take on water. One of the fishermen successfully swam to shore; the other three were plucked out of the water. Two of the latter died. Not many 28 ft boats carry life rafts but it looks like that is about the only thing that could have saved them. Some articles are calling the boat a 23'er and saying it capsized. If they caught a fish and four guys ran to the side to look over, I could see it capsizing in the choppy waters of the bay. Well, that makes more sense...trailering a 23-footer down from PA is more likely than trailering a 28-footer. Still...I was down a BP yesterday to talk to a couple of incoming fishermen, and while the Bay was choppy, it wasn't that bad. You could have gone out for a bumpy ride. The articles says the men rented a ship. |
