They found the last guy dead.:(

I'm interested to see what their track was.

There are a lot of uncharted well heads and other hazards outside of the safety fairways.

So far they think they hit something.

Apprently he ushered two kids up from below where they had been resting. He didn't make it. Have yet to hear what exactly happened. All I have heard is that they lost the keel and took on water and capsized quickly after that. The person who died was trapped inside the boat.

Right now the Houston Chronicle article (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5826471.html) is stating they don't think they hit something be the keel was still displaced somehow, every other story that I have read still believes they hit something.

I mean things happen, but most boats don't lose a keel without some mishap.

Well, it could have been much, much worse, but I'm saddened nonetheless.
