I heard many say Bob fished that area often and was a seasoned fisherman but sometimes being experienced or knowledgeable about a certain area or technique can work against you being that you are comfortable with it and sometimes complacent with a situation that someone who doesn't know that area would not go out in. Not saying Bob was reckless by any means. It was rough that nite and I assume they felt it was doable as they probably have fished that area in similar conditions before, heck onshore wind and outgoing current is what they wanted, just one tragic misstep or wave. Unfortunately a terrible tragic accident occurred and has occurred at that spot several times. All one can say is always be careful and never let your guard down weather on foot or by boat. So sad.
