The usual suspects will blame it on
1. Stupidity
2. Alcohol
3. Ignorance
All without any evidence of such.


Not totally without evidence of #1 or #3.

If NJ has been anything like upstate NY during the past week, it may've been
caused by insane wind surprises, although they shouldn't have come as a
surprise to anyone who checks the weather reports. At this time of year, any
time we're blessed with a warm front for a day or two, it's ALWAYS followed
by raucous wind as the cold front follows, and we end up with falling tree
limbs & other surprises.

Perhaps those guys didn't pay attention to the weather reports. I mean,
*something* caused the boat to capsize. What theories could you suggest?

There is nothing in the story to indicate alcohol was a factor.

Stupidity? Ignorance? Maybe extreme........but carelessness can be
inferred from the fact that they were out in a small boat in the North
Atlantic, during late November, and not a single one of them thought
to put on a PFD. The jackets were apparently all aboard, just as
*required* by the USCG...

What a shame. Considering wives, kids, friends, coworkers, employers,
employees, and family members there are maybe hundreds of people
affected by each of these deaths, so it isn't entirely or solely a
personal decision.
We can only hope their possibly needless deaths will serve as
instructional examples

Boat capsizes off NJ coast, killing 3; second fatal fishing accident
since Wednesday
AP
Posted: 2007-11-29 20:04:19
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - A boat capsized about five miles from
shore, killing the three fishermen on board, authorities said
Thursday.
The 25-foot pleasure boat carrying the men was reported missing by a
friend Wednesday night when they didn't return.
The Coast Guard searched through the night for the men using boats, a
helicopter and a plane. A helicopter crew member using night-vision
goggles spotted the boat early Thursday and the bodies of Mark Stroud
and Danny Pavic, both of Galloway.
A salvage crew sent to recover the boat found the body of Jerry
Berwick, 64, of Philadelphia, inside the cabin Thursday afternoon, the
Coast Guard said.
Coast Guard Spokesman Nyx Cangemi said that there were life jackets on
the boat, but that the men were not wearing them. The water
temperature was about 50 degrees, he said.
Officials were waiting for a medical examiner to identify the body.
The men launched from Oyster Creek and were headed for Little Egg
Inlet, which is about 10 miles north of where their boat was found.
The search follows another fishing accident Wednesday in which a 72-
year-old man was killed after being trapped underneath a capsized boat
in Maurice River Township. Two others survived.
.

Here's a local news story on the same accident:

Boat capsizes off Atlantic City, killing three fishermen



The waters off southern New Jersey claimed more lives, and emergency
personnel recovered the bodies Thursday of three fishermen after their
boat, *the Knucklehead,* capsized in the Atlantic Ocean.

The U.S. Coast Guard retrieved the bodies of Danny Pavic, of Galloway
Township, Atlantic County, and Mark Stroud, 45, of Philadelphia, from
the chilly waters about 5 miles off Atlantic City shortly after 1:10
a.m. Thursday.

The body of the third member of their party, Philadelphia resident Jerry
Berwick, was discovered in the cabin of the Knucklehead when it was
righted by a boat-towing company at the scene at about
1 p.m. Thursday.

The Knucklehead was towed Thursday afternoon to Somers Point, where it
was raised out of the water after being pumped dry.

The discovery of the capsized Knucklehead follows a search for Pavic,
Stroud and Berwick that began after friends reported at about 5:45 p.m.
Wednesday that the 25-foot pleasure boat, owned by Stroud, was overdue.
That report caused the Coast Guard to launch helicopters, planes and
boats to look for the men and their craft.

The search that turned up the Knucklehead and its three fishermen was
the second search of the day by the Coast Guard - although it's unclear
whether the first search actually was for the Knucklehead: Coast Guard
spokesman Petty Officer Nyx Cangemi said helicopters were dispatched
Wednesday morning after two boats reported hearing a distress call of,
"May Day, May Day, May Day, we're going down." The distress call was
made on a channel that the Coast Guard normally does not monitor, he said.

Cangemi said the distress call did not include a location, and the Coast
Guard used the positions of the two reporting boats as a base area for
its search. The search turned up nothing, and the distress call isn't
being linked to the Knucklehead, he said. He also said no other vessels
were reported missing or overdue.

The bodies of Pavic and Stroud were brought by boat to the Coast Guard
base in Atlantic City. Atlantic County Medical Examiner Dr. Hydow Park
performed autopsies Thursday afternoon. A spokeswoman for Park's office
said results would be forwarded to the Coast Guard for public release.
Coast Guard officials said the results more likely will be reported to
the State Police Marine Services Bureau.

Berwick's body was brought ashore Thursday afternoon at the Shamrock
Towing yard in Somers Point. An autopsy also is planned to be performed
on his body.

The cause of the boat's capsizing is unknown.

Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Christopher McLaughlin said the seas
were running at about three feet and winds were blowing from the west at
about five to 10 knots on Wednesday. "It wasn't like a bad weather day,"
he said.

But McLaughlin said the water temperature was such that "you could get
hypothermia pretty quick."

The water temperature was about 49 degrees off the Steel Pier at noon
Wednesday.

Coast Guard officials said the men weren't wearing lifejackets, but had
them on board the boat.

Tearful members of Stroud's family, gathered in a darkened house they
own on Oyster Creek in Galloway Township, provided little information:
They said Stroud, Pavic and Berwick left Oyster Creek - located about 10
miles north of where the Knucklehead eventually was found - for their
fishing trip at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. They wouldn't comment further.

"We don't want publicity," said a woman who identified herself as
Stroud's mother.

Pavic owned the M & M Motel on Route 9 in Galloway Township.

A house in front of the motel had "Closed" and "No Trespassing" signs on
its door. A row of orange highway cones stopped access to the parking
lot in front of the motel's rooms at the back of the property.

People familiar with Pavic said he stayed to himself and had been a
painting contractor for some time.

If the boat was still floating, upside down,

Of course, we COULD force "them" to build boats that SELF-RIGHT
like a monohull sailboat, couldn't we? That's not rocket science
to do with a little scrap iron.

Maybe if we weren't so set on making the damned boats so light
and thin and cheap-as-possible with some old iron in the keel so
it COULDN'T stay upside down for more than an instance...these
guys and hundreds to thousands like them over the years would
still be alive.

Forget it. Brunswick profits is all that matters. Just look in
any hull made in the last 40 years.....

That is a higher rate than I would have thought, and considering that it
is per registered motorcycle, not per mile, it is quite high. I'm
guessing, but I would think that the average motorcycle only averages a
couple of thousand miles per year.
Evolution in action.

You picked the right word to talk about how Harleys are getting better!

Just imagine how safe it would be if you also had a helmet on.

Screw you. I don't fish, so you have to pay a excise tax. Now if you
want to change your boating style into something I agree with, well we
might be able to add you into the preferred boating tax schedule.

George Carlin has the answer to your last question. If you'd like, I can
