Sad story

That is sad. You won't catch me on a boat on a major holiday weekend, too many people that don't know what they are doing.

Nighttime and high speed don't mix well. Very sad story

Dark and speed, not a good mix, very sad.

I just anchored down the street from my place (after the fireworks) and I could not believe how many boats all jumped up on plane to head back to their respective marinas .

My wife was involved in a post fireworks boat accident in 2001. I was out of town, so she went with a neighbor and his family. Even though it's only about 300 yards from where they anchored to our channel, he felt he needed to get on plane. Went over the top of an anchored Checkmate with no lights on stern to bow. Now she's very apprehensive about night boating.

Good friend of mine's friend was the one hit! I was out there that night and it's a sad story!

I try to avoid boating on the 4th and driving on St. Patrick's Day. Both are full of amatures!

I hate reading about these things, even if your not at fault it can leave an emotional scar if someone gets hurt.
