Shinnecock boating accident

Other than the original report I haven't heard any updates...did the survivor say what happened? While that inlet can get real bad, I would think a seasoned captain in a fairly large boat would be able to navigate thru and when.

I'd bet coming in he got on top of the surf and was turned sideways, maybe to avoid another boat.

good point. not sure if they were in bound or out bound though. Maybe he stuffed one then got sideways and rolled.
