That doesn't surprise me. It was REALLY windy and cool out there late in the afternoon with tons of boat waves. We had the big boat so the waves didn't bother us, but I wouldn't have wanted to be out there in a small boat.

Good thing the water has warmed up enough so swimming is basically doable in a bathing suit. Just stay with that submerged bowrider, runabout, cruiser, etc and wait for a passing sailboat to give a rescue.

You gotta be careful in winds like that. Common sense goes a very long way. If your boat can't handle it then don't try it... I would guess they were not traveling safely or prudently for the conditions.

The article mentioned 10 people on board. If it was a small boat, it would have been riding pretty low in the water (I'm assuming they were all adults because it didn't mention children) and the chop would have been real trouble.

Be careful out there...

A half-dozen boats (22+ footers) entered the Broads, with only one turning back. At 4:10 PM, I saw a "throwable device"—a seat cushion—go floating by. A minute later, a second seat cushion floated by! Both cushions were blue and white, and were being flipped over and over by the wind and wave actions! Other items floated by, suggesting a debris field. Concerned, I dialed the MP's number: (877-642-9700). A State Police dispatcher answered instead. She cheerfully said the MP's had all gone home, and I was to call my local P.D. instead. (What a sweet voice, though. If I was to be fired some day, I wouldn't at all mind getting the news from her! ) I called the MPs Friday morning, and they were unaware of any capsizes on Thursday. Maybe Towboat/US knows.
