Good point about always having a vest on while out on the water. With all that heavy clothing on you have little chance once you hit the water without one.I was there launching my boat when they where tying both boats up. Tried talking to the people that where in the boat but they where in shock and did say much. Can't believe no one was killed one of the worst boat wrecks I have seen and I seen a few while doing time in the Coast Guard.
I made sure I whore my life vest that day.
You scamp!.

You would be surprised for some reason boats just drift to each other we usually set the radar alarm but for some reason it didn't wake us up usually set for half mileMan, I know it's a big ocean but DAYUMMMM. I cannot sleep in a boat unless its tied up to the dock.
I used to go out to the channel islands on my dad's sail boat all the time and stay the weekends out there ancored in covesWe would never go to sea in an unanchorable area overnight without enough people on board to provide a 24 hr watch. Even at that, I had a crewman that was working on a fishing boat that anchored in a cove at the Chanel islands that woke up on the beach, the boat had drug anchor and broken up in the surf. People used to give me a bad time about using a 1500 lb anchor on my 60 foot salvage boats (I used 2, 3000 pounders on my 120 footers) but we slept well.
