After looking at the pics of 1 of the 4 survivors from that fishing accident off florida with the 4 athletes aboard clinging to the capsized boats motor, it makes you think what the heck happened on that saturday fishing trip with friends gone awefully wrong. Going offshore 50 miles in a 21 footer better have at least the newer 400MHZ EPIRBs. From the news, the survivor said the boat was anchored when they took on water, no hail on Ch 16? Nothing...to let people know they are in trouble. Water temp was 64 degrees, but they said after 18 hours in that, no matter hypothermia takes it toll. Our prayers are with those 3 missing and thier families in waiting. Hope they had there lifevest on and they are still fighting..
