Agreed. Very sad, but it was something he caused himself. He killed both himself and his passenger. He was doing Ariel flips in an ultralight when the wing folded and they plummeted to the water. You can read the full story here:

That is a cool site about US 17.

I have traveled different stretches of 17 for most of my life...when I was a kid living in Georgetown, it seemed like the trip to Charleston down 17 took 3 days.

Thanks for this thread SP...the only boats I like better than old V-20's are old wooden boats.

When I was a teen there was a wooden head boat that ran out of Holden Beach that I used to go out on...can't come up with the name right now though
