Be careful out there

I was out on the water when I heard the radio call come in to the USCG regarding this incident.

It was Friday night, just before midnight. No PWCs were involved (it was well after dark) but the guys in the flats boat were highly experienced boaters.

I love being out on the water, but we can never allow safety to not be the number 1 concern.

Very sad event. Tragic and entirely avoidable.

Very sad...most likely the boat may have been dark and the other one didn't see it.

Most people think that its not a big deal to have all the lights working but look at the things that could happen.
