I had started my blog on Powerboat Magazine’s website about this collision but I think Steve David’s blog on PBM summed it up well enough.

Unfortunately the butterfly affect will take its toll on more than we’ll ever know. The only thing we can do is learn from those that have sacrificed so much. If I never read of another boating fatality of one of our “family”, it’ll be too soon. Be safe out there people.

God Speed to all those affected.
