Heres to hoping they are found safe and sound.................

That sucks. I agree. Hopefully, they are ok.

When I saw this thread, I thought you were abbriviating for Seattle. I was expecting a story about drunken football players not showing up to a Seahawks team meeting or something.

Sorry I didn't even see that.........

Heres to hoping they show up drunk  on some Foriegn tanker or something that picked them up.

May they be found/guided home safely, or, failing that, may their souls rest at peace, and may their families be given solace and support.

Best of luck to the four guys and to the search crews.

UPDATE

They found the boat, capsized, with one of the boaters holding onto it.  The other three are still missing.

An absolute tragedy... My thoughts go out to their families.

To any boating members of this board...keep your asses safe out on the water.

Man.....1 found and 3 still missing. Not a good sign.

I'm far from a boating expert or sea conditions.......but why didn't all 4 of the men just cling to the boat?  I'm guessing with the high seas it got lost fast?

I just saw a Clip of one of the guy's father....stil quite jovial,didn't seem too broken up.....

I am wondering why they haven't released the story from the one guy's perspective.  As soon as he was found I figured we'd find out exactly what happened, but still nothing.

[SportsChick]

He's still out of it from what I understand - dehydration and hypothermia.

[Phishfan]

He's talking. That is how they know the story. They were taking up the anchor when the boat flipped. No one had a life jacket on, but all four guys swam under the boat to retrieve them. All four guys were hanging on the boat for a bit but about 2:00 PM Sunday the others disappeared and he didn't know what happened to them.

Have you guys not heard it or do you think there is more to tell?

[jtex316]

I'm not a boating expert either - I don't know shit about the high seas.

But something isn't right about this story. SOMETHING happened here. It's not like the boat exploded and all four guys were sent flying in opposite directions, and only 1 dude was able to swim back to the boat. Here, ALL FOUR GUYS were immediately huddled together and put on their life preservers on.

How is it that out of this quartet, only 1 dude remains anywhere to be seen? Did the other 3 get eaten by sharks? Or did the other 3 say "fuck this bullshit" and try to swim somewhere? Or were they drunk and just drowned and the last remaining dude used the bodies of the other 3 guys to save his own life?

A LOT of questions remain here, and I think there is a BIG colossal part of this story missing.

14 foot seas will mess with ya clinging onto a boat

[Phishfan]

^^^ Exactly. These guys were not playing king of the raft in a pool. They were in 68 degree water with big waves. I'm surprised one of them held on.
