Darwins law.

And no life jackets either, they are lucky they're alive.

I bet you there wasn't even 11 life jackets on that boat. Outside of a pontoon boat I can't think of any 21' boat rated to hold 11 people?

My 23' center console is rated to 8 people I believe...I have had four on at one time and didn't like it (hard to walk around). I can't imagine having five on board let alone 11!

Wonder how big that boat^^^was

[seamonkey]

I don't mean to discount the tragedy experienced by these people, but in most cases it seems like these boats were overloaded. And being on a boat without life preservers you're just tempting death!

No sense being stupid unless you can show it my dad always use to say

You shouldn't apologize for criticizing stupid people. It's Darwin's law of natural selection.

Boat ran aground? Drunk boating for the holiday?

I saw a video online of this guy crashing into the jetty. Certified idiot. he's lucky he didn't do more damage.

[finchaser]

Saw the boat that ran aground today at my friends boat yard in for a bent shaft. Real story was 80 year old guy was running the boat fell off seat banged his head was knocked out boat flew up river and ran aground hard on dog island in Manasquan river. Luckily he didn't hit any other boats.

[bababooey]

Well hey if the guy was 80 maybe we should give him a senior citizen fumble pass.:d

Another one just today. My gut instinct tells me that the 36 footer was probably mostly at fault, and was not paying attention.
