The real details are out there, what I've seen from the news:
Boat was a small 17 footer of 60s vintage with an outboard (not a BW)
Weather got critical while they were out there running from Tiverton expecting to go to Fall River
6 people were in the boat - likely overloaded
This was the first time they used this boat
All but one (missing) WERE wearing lifejackets as this was not the first fatal boating accident in their family
