Sad news in the Chronicle this morning.

That's just heartbreaking, I'm at a loss for words. My condolences to the Coen family for their loss, and Mr. Henderson on the loss of his fishing partner.
Life is a fragile, temporal thing, love your family and be kind to all.

WOW, so sad but can hopefully be shared to help prevent such a tradgedy from happening to the next person, R.I.P. Many prayers for that family and friends

I lost a friend the same way back when I was in high school they were 85 miles out chasing tuna and instead of staying with the boat he was never found or the two others and his dog.

The boat filled but never sank so if that happens never leave your boat.

Such a tragic story and a reminder for us to be safe, plan ahead, triple check, stay cool. I also appreciate the safety tips. I'll be going to get some safety items this weekend before any trips.

Tragic - As someone else mentioned, the Bay can be just as dangerous. In 1979 my wifes uncle was in the bay with a freind and their sons dragging a sportsmans shrimp net. Their boat took on water and capsized. He drowned, but all three boys and the freind were rescued.

This also reminds me to say file a float plan with someone that will be staying behind.

I go out on the kayak by my self a lot and someone always knows where I am launching from where I am planning on going, what time I plan on getting on and off the water and if I am training, fishing, or paddling. This gives the search party valuable info if the situation ever arise.

I forgot to put this in but this is important as well make sure you give set person the numbers of local law enforcement/game warden and the emergency for number for the coast guard.

This post should be summarized and made a SAFETY POST Sticky as a great reminder to all of us. Mods-can you help do that?
