My heart goes out to the families of these three

I can't imagine being out in the ocean 25+ miles, in a 21' boat. My father an I go out no more than a few miles, and the boat is 28' long. Then the boat was anchored too. Plus there was a storm on it's way. When you're out that far, you don't have time to get back in, if the weather turns bad. The whole thing was a disaster waiting to happen. Very sad for the families.

I'm with you Bill. I have a HUGE respect for the ocean. My boat is in a marina on LBI, NJ. Lots of fishermen there. Every Summer there is an accident...often fatal...that involves someone doing something stupid. To me, this one falls into that category. It made headlines because of the people involved but, sadly, this type of thing happens all the time.
