This happened sometime Friday night or Saturday morning. It was very busy all weekend. Really sad and we will probably never know what happened. As of this evening, they still havent found the body. CT state police, helicoptor, coast gaurd and a lot of private boats searched all weekend.

This builds an argument for requiring solo boaters to wear a PFD.

I'm sure some elected official will suggest it. :roll:

I'm sure sorry for the family.

I Australia, it is compulsory for a lone boater to wear a PFD1 at all times. Has saved quite a few lives I believe...
