That's a sad thing. Too bad he didn't put on a life vest too.  |

talked with a guy today while at work, saw he had a fishing hat and yelled out hey, you like striper fishing!?, anyways he had just talked with the captain a few minutes before it sank. stinks he had to go out that way, just because of not having a life jacket. |
live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.

He was a real nice guy. I only knew him from the dock and occasional chatting, spoke to him out in the sound a couple of weeks ago. Sad.
As has been mentioned here Qiucks can stand up in a hurry, I have also seen it ROCK HUGE in the sound where they meet but be flat inside. Weird thing was you could drive around the mountains.
Lifejackets work.

There is a designated channel for radio checks.... its channel 9, which handles all hailing and most commercial advisories. Radio check on 9, never 16 which is for emegency and CG use only.
The Capt. of that boat put jackets on all his passengers, but not himself, and it is against the CFR to allow a non-designated tow boat perform an emergency tow. The hook should have been dropped to stop the boat, or the other vessel was to stand thew boat off till proper help arrived. Sad instance, but totally avoidable.

We have all seen it turn ugly......when the tide is hummin and b#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g a stiff wind, look out walls of water seem to appear and turns into one of those white knuckle rides home.
The statistics for man overboard survival without pfd ON at the time he enters the water are hair-raising...It is in the low single digits.
Wear the SOS or belt at a min. It ain't that bad.
