2 foot seas is norm for us...and welcomed.
My condolences to the owner of this boat.

WE should all be thankful no one was killed or seriously injured for life. We all too often read about deaths with these type of accidents on here esp. during the summer.

My point was bad things can happen even if the conditions aren't extreme and you're not prepared for it.
There is no reason to send any condolences, the driver was only injured, and the boat is still together.
This thread has just completely gone to hell, in a very short time.
I just hope the guy is OK.
Macklin - take your smack someplace else. This isn't the time or the place.

OH MY! I was stationed on the great lakes. Seen some snotty crap up there worse then offshore.
Direct quote from the Captain of the Fitzgerald: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in." Moments before they went under

I grew up on Erie, 20+ years boating there. But, I know no one around here considers that offshore

But I still offer condolences to the guy who had this unfortunate accident.

Thought you all would like to know we just spoke with Jay and he is being released right now from the hospital. He is doing well with the exception of a headache, and lots of bruises. With any luck he'll be back in the saddle soon.
