No news, but this post is kind of a clearing house for all rumors, facts, hopes, prayers, and wishes.

you spend all your life every weekend..for some every day...on the water..buy the best navigational equpment..buy motors pumps lights electronics that are indestructible and will weather out anything the great seas throw at you...you prepare all day and all night mentally and physicaly to do what you gotta do in the morning to catch fish...you learn to deal with the fact that one minor problem in the world we live in may become the destruction of the world around you 100 miles offshore...but you still go knowing everything has to work right..everythings gotta be working with you when your 100 miles offshore in a 25-35 foot vessel..you gotta have that iron gut...then...that one minor thing goes wrong and your life is now a nightmare..........

this is just the hard truth of being a offshore fisherman...these thoughts run through my mind all summer every weekend..i deck hand outta venice and cant imagine wat it would be like to know that your gonna be relying on people finding you, your only hope at living...God Bless these familys...its a offshore fishermans nightmare to have this happen to anyone...prayers sent to heaven for them..

i really think as long as they can stay in their boat; they can survive a couple days IF they brought along lots of water and eats

definitely makes you stop and reevaluate your boat and whats on it that you and the passengers may have to depend on with your lives.

maybe a methane gas pocket took them

i guess if the hull is capsized it would be hard to spot from a bird
