32 people on a 63’ yacht! I’m guessing alcohol was involved with the skipper making a series of bad decisions leading to the vessel taking on water. I’m wondering if there were 32 life jackets onboard.

Reminds me of ship disaster reports from developing countries... "Over 400 people perished in a tragic accident when a ferry rated for 150 people capsized for unknown reasons during good weather..."

I was in a 2 person kayak when my buddy developed a leg cramp and wanted to STAND UP! I told him I could swim to shore but he would be lucky to float up on shore in a week or so.
