1st, I think it's a miracle all were rescued w/ no deaths...unbelievable!!...very fortunate...

first story says people on convention decided to go on boating party...sounds like hired charter...last story(from owner) says he was taking "family and friends" (private cruise, no hire) to dinner...possible capt didn't have proper insurance in place for charter??...could be 1st story just wrong, but there's a fly doin' the backstroke in the ointment somewhere ::)...

and in the 3rd story, reporter says, "ran aground in mouth of creek in 60' of water"...I love reporters ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the story, Pipe...hadn't heard about that one...I was showin' 57* water @ Shallotte Inlet in NC...sounds a little warmer down south, but still can't believe nobody inhaled when they hit 62* water @ HH....brrrr....
