    My God, some boaters

    This just off Monterey coastline. WTF, going 65 miles (in a 29ft. boat!) out with two young children and no safety equipment of any kind. It is cold out there and so I don't hold out much hope for any of them. Poor kids...

    That's too far from land in a boat that size; my family and I used to go out past the Gate occasionally in a Cal 30 (that's an old 30' sailboat), but we always wore life jackets, and didn't ever lose sight of land. Even then it was hairy with the 8-10' swells breaking over the bow sometimes, and that was on a CALM day!

      Isn't there some special Darwin award for those that not only takes themselves out of the gene pool but their next generation as well. What a sad story.
      Removing a single turd from the cesspool doesn't make any difference.

        I thought the search was recalled off because the Coast Guard came to the conclusion it was an hoax.
