After reading about the crash, I have a question.

My Marina has the option to file with them. I usually let them know what my intentions are for the day or if I'll be away for a few days. If you don't return when expected then you should call, otherwise they will try to contact you, after that they let the CG know.
It's not a bad idea to let someone know what your intentions are; even if it's a neighbor or a family member. That way, the least amount of time goes by, before someone begins wondering about your wherabouts. It could make a difference.

I am assuming that people who boat alone and in the ocean are the one's that really need to do this.
Boating on a small lake really is not an issue unless you are alone, right?
And your marina gives you that option? WOW! I am pretty sure the marina where we put in could really care less.

I wouldn't be nearly as worried on a small lake...Worst comes to worst, get a nap and see where you wash up.
And yes, our marina will log your trip and what your intentions are for return at your request. Just another nice touch.

Gotcha!
Thanks Nick, I always know I can depend on you to answer any crazy questions I have.
I kinda feel like the little sister in here when I ask so many questions, but there is always one of you to my rescue.
Thanks for being so patient with me guys!

Was the "Float Plan" claimed to be filed with the marina? If so, I've kept my boat there for several years and I'd bet their offices were closed at his time of departure. My guess is if he was interested in filing it earlier in the day -- they'd look at him like he was crazy. Bet they don't even know what a "Float Plan" is. If one was filed, odds are it wasn't with THAT marina.
