dldiver was with us out on Ty's boat Sunday. We heard the call over the radio. She sent me this when she got home. I have heard nothing more. Guess you could start a thread and ask, just a thought.

Does anyone else find it just a little odd how little interest there has been in this incident? Or is that normal?
There is an A&I thread about it but no info other than the CG press release....

One little blurb in the paper and nothing on the news.
Now if it was a motorcyclist who died and wasn't wearing a helmet you'd never hear the end of it.
