true enough profisher,,, having a proper radio most likely, having battery power to run it has left me wondering? batteries were already dead or under water? why? i know it sounds bad to ask exactly what happened and how, but, most likely as in most cases like this , a series of errors in judgement and proper preparation either of vessel or captain caused the tragedy. i dont have a blue sticker but as most on here that do venture out on the water i take great pride in prep of my boat and myself to handle situations that can arise and how to avoid them. i had a customer step on my boat 2 years ago and actually ran me through procedure, checked my bilge and stated he felt comfortable being out with me... later in the trip he explained that he was involved in an incident on a boat that could have been easily avoided if more care was taken by good friend of his... i did not mind the inspection by an experienced and cautious customer..
