Thinking about it, I don't know If I would want to be going offshore in an 18ft boat unless the conditions are perfect.

While I fully endorse the use of lifejackets I don't think it would have changed the outcome of this situation except maybe in the recovery of the victims. An EPIRB and life raft along with lifejackets might have made a difference nobody will ever know for sure though. All that we can do moving forward is pray for the families and try to learn from this tragedy. Be safe out there fellow fishers, Osprey

Well said Jim instead of us pointing fingers everywhere on this thread it should be left for the eventual investigation to happen there are way to many unanswered questions here which we dont know the answers and in respect to family and friends of the fisherman should be left for another thread. It hits close to everyone on here Guides,Sports or Commercial fisherman...

Jim's comment about a TC investigation happening in due time is quite obvious to most of us I would think but can we not also discuss these same questions here ? I am not sure Duffer's reply to it makes much sense to me. Duffer, are you implying Jim is saying anything about people on here are pointing fingers ??? I know for myself and hopefully others here, that when there is a forum discussion about an accident and what might have gone wrong, and what could have been done, it is all good. Forum members could come up with some great opinions and ideas. Its called a 'discussion'. The last thing I'd want is this sort of discussion to be sensored by you or anyone. Let TC do the investigation, sure, but is that a reason for us to drop the topic ?
