  1. Florida Fish & Wildlife's invest of the boating accident that killed 3 ex football players off Clearwater Pass in Feb was caused by "improper anchoring techniques"!

    "Around 5:30 pm...... {in 60 foot deep rough, 4-6 foot seas, rising 20+ mph winds}...... they went to pull up the anchor and head back to port, but the anchor was stuck. Bleakley suggested they tie it to the transom and use the boat's motor to pull it loose.

    When Cooper tried to thrust the boat forward, the vessel became submerged and capsized, tossing the men overboard."

    The stupidity of those actions totally confound me! I guess I'm just not smart enough to understand the scope of things people do to themselves and other people that cause their deaths

    Unfortunately for them it just might of been inexperience in those conditions and not stupidity. :504_shrugging:
