Wow are they lucky there were other boats in the area.

Does looks like 2 life jackets and if I am not imagining things, the third guy has a throwable seat cushion on. BUT ITS ON HIS BACK. That way it keeps your face firmly planted under water !!!!!!!!

Whatever, but good thing they are all OK.
Never take anythning for granted.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Thank God someone else was out there nearby. No lives lost, no injurys, I hope, Huge lessons learned. Still sucks tho.

My neighbor had his 31 ft Regulator sink at the dock the other day when a through hull fitting corroded and let go. That shouldn't happen, at least on a boat of recent vintage. I wonder if thru-hulls are now being outsourced over seas.

Yup, When I worhed at Northside we had a brand new 28' Sailfish pretend it was a crab, The bonding system was not up to parr and it was in the water for 2 days, Didn't even get to sea trial it. I personaly try to stay away from the stuff at Boaters world and Worst Marine, Thru hull's I try to go with us made stuff like Sen Dure Ect. Lewis marine is the best for this stuff and in there 2008 catalogue they list the country of origin.
