At least he died doing what he loved, looks like a beautiful day out there.

Until last month I was a boat owner and I know first hand how easy it is to fall out of a boat, never happened to me but I had a very very close call once.....scared the crap out of me. I fished alone about 75% of the time and hooped alone about 60% of the time so my chances of something going wrong and no one being there to help were skyhigh but like Jim said, "At least he died doing what he loved......"

I just saw more photos on another site turns out he was not in the tower but at the second set of controls on the flybridge.





Talk about a freak accident though, that's a lot of boat to get thrown around like that. I've been bounced around a bit but I've never never had anything throw me off the wheel and certainly not out of a flybridge.
