[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 455179, member: 21552"] We don't know if storms with high winds were in the forecast, it looks like the captain did a pretty good job keeping the bow into it but once it started hitting him on the beam it was over. People having put on life vests prior to abandoning ship may have contributed to the death tool, being unable to get off the boat. They didn't appear to be far from shore and there was another boat out there too, very sad situation for sure. We need all the details before we can judge them completely. I don't know what the capacity of a Duck boat is but they used to carry troops, so I'm thinking 30 or so isn't out of the question under the right circumstances. [/QUOTE]
