gaffa Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Not sure why his boat was cut in half though. Mike Or why the engine cowling is missing Peteg Quote
Rob Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 It looks like the boat was hit by another or more likely ended up on rocks. Either could have easily displacedn the cowling. Quote
Coddy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 I find it strange that they suspect that the guy was steering the boat standing. Having fished off a small dingy previously, the last thing I wanted to do was stand up as you become very unstable, also starting the engine from a pull cord if standing would be at the wrong angle. As Rob suggested I suspect it was hit by something and he was thrown overboard. If he had a lanyard attached to himself and the craft he might have survived longer Quote
