Karen,

I don't know the range of that boat / motor / fuel combo. But judging from
the stuff missing, and the condition of the Captain, my first thought
(unless you can see your ex-husband killing the Captain and hijacking your
son to Cuba) is piracy, sorry to say.

karen,
I've been following this story closely in a forum over at
floridasportsman.com. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm as
baffled as anybody as to what happened. I know the FBI took over the case
in the first 12 hours of finding the boat, but have not released any info on
the toxicology reports. Have you been in touch with them? Have they
provided any recent info? Did you talk to the dad before the trip?

Most of the threads on floridasportsman.com have a few dozen messages.
floridasportsman.com's forum also keeps track of how many times someone
opens the thread to read it. Usually, that happens about 100 times. The
thread about the boat your son was on in the Southwest forum has 434
messages and 20,486 views! The most recent post was 3 days ago. Everyone
is obviously following it very closely.

Karen,
You'll get all sorts of conspiracy theories over the internet...and some of
'em might sound cold and/or callous. However, please be open-minded to all
possibilities.

Clams brought up a decent point, and I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt
anybody. Nevertheless, the circumstances certainly do warrant asking the
question:
"was the dad capable of running off with the son because he was upset with
you having custody?"

That's what I meant.

Looking at all the evidence (as reported), I find it hard to come up with a
"better case" scenario to hold out some hope. I've also been following the
reports, and quite frankly don't like anything I'm seeing.

My heart goes out to you and your family - especially this time of season.

-W

Does anyone know of the condition of the throttles. Were they opened up like
they were running hard or were they idle?

told throttle open, but that could'be happened in tossing.? key in
ignition....off, manual.

i don't believe they ever made it to the wreck, no boats that were
there saw or heard anything. i don't even know if they were really
plan on going there. a close friend & boating buddy of gary's said he
was never known to keave a detailed itinerary

Throttle to open (assuming a natural cause) would be more likely to happen
on beach impact upside down than by mere "sea tossing".

Key "off" is kind of odd, as tossing or beaching impact seems unlikely to
change key position. But, depending on the weight of whatever was on the key
fob, if there was a key fob, introduces a variable there too.

I understand that to us it's a mystery............. to you it's the world.

This event was the subject of a few news reports here in central Illinois.
As I recall, the owner (Gary Lisk ??) was from our area. Haven't seen any
thing further until the recent posts in this NG. I don't pretend to be an
expert on boats or the Gulf of Mexico. I've been operating small fishing
boats on inland waters for more than 30 years. Over those years I've spent a
few weeks in Florida during winter months. While there, my only boating has
been on charters, with me just a passenger. This given, my two-cents worth
are simplistic; the facts just do not fit well with any conventional
scenario.
Whatever has happened to this boat and the 3 men aboard is bizarre. At
this date, I don't think there is much value in looking at this event with
conventional wisdom; imagination is now the most essential element of this
investigation.
Sorry if I'm just stating the obvious, but maybe that will help. I wish I
could do more.
