How sad :( My 8 year old niece and her friend are out in that same area with my sister this week. I know they don't drive the boat at night, but it sure makes you think. That poor family they will never be the same again

This is why I simply don't boat at night - not worth the risk. It's hard enough avoiding the idiots and other amateur-hour "boaters" during the day when you can see them, let alone in the dark.

Very, very sad story.
