Prayers and a Lesson

Please, Please always be safe and always, always have all the necessary safety gear to get your butt saved in case of an emergency.

This thread is from my local home town.

Guy goes out for a long trip BY HIMSELF without the necessary safety gear and now his family is still wondering what has happened to him. Please pray that he is found alive and he is still floating out there broke down. I know we can talk all kinds of garbage about what what this guy has done wrong. The fact of the matter is this. He is now missing and he has a family now wondering what the hell has happened to him. Things go wrong. Please do not let a little bit of money get in the way of having the necessary safety gear on board your boat. It’s not worth your life.

I did not know this guy personally. But a lot of these guys on this board are some of my good friends from back home. It’s a sad story to hear about a local guy from back home being lost at sea. Just a reminder to be safe and keep that safety gear up to date and on board.

Praying!

Any update on the missing boater? Read the link posts and Coast Guard had suspended search operations. Prayers are with the family and missing man.

Still missing. Search called off by the Coast Guard. The hope is that he is still floating out there and will be found eventually. Crazier things have happened.

I will be praying for this man and is family, never give up

Yep,

His boat has been found off the Yucatan with keys in it and no other signs of what has happened. It almost gives more questions now.
