Never a good thing but what were 5 people doing out in a 20' open boat at 3 am in the morning.

Not 100% but heard that maybe had something to do with a crab trap?

A tragedy for the local community and families involved. Let’s keep the commentary respectful. My condolences to their families.

Cheers!

One of the better news reports that I've read.

so sad. It is time ALL commercial mariners start setting an example for other members of the boating community by actually wearing pfd's. Is your life not worth |$100 ? how many of these tragedies have to happen before legislation is introduced? If you want to honour these people become a advocate for wearing a pfd.
