Missing Boaters...

[Madd Matt]

Fox news is reporting that there was no damage to the boat according to an ODNR supervisor involved with inspecting the boat as part of the investigation. They will be checking the hard drive of the GPS for any clues to an erratic maneuver that could have caused the sinking.

It was a somber day on the Lake yesterday with all the air traffic, and knowing what was going on. Sick feeling in my stomach as we headed out and kept "watching" the water. I did not know anyone involved, and yet it effected me a great deal. My heart is with those families.

The fact that there was supposedly no damage to the boat makes you wonder if his anchor got thrown overboard and grabbed at high speed or something. Pure speculation on my part and just wondering out loud.

Still saddened by this tragic loss. I didn't know Bryan personally but feel like I did. Reading his Facebook page, I know he was a guy I wish I could have spent some time with. God speed Bryan to you and the others abord.

The Western Basin of Lake Erie is a dangerous place. When wind and shallow waters meet, all bets are off. We all knows this.

I do not not know these people, but I know their story. It has been played out every year in one way or another. It is terrible. It sucks. It is what we all know is possible.

Yet, we launch our vessels...

Sorry guys, didn't read far enough down. Just preying they or someone finds them. Closure is a blessing no matter the out come.
