says they were fishing... What could they have possibly been targeting near Ambrose this time of year?.. Whatever it was, not sure it was worth going out for in a small boat this time of year.. water temps are around 36-37... Really sad story.... bob

30 ft Grady White, wonder if they hit a floating telephone pole or something.

I dunno, thats a pretty stout ride, but still, 36 degree water is very unforgiving. I have seen square logs as long as and bigger around than telephone poles and covered with protruding spikes floating in SH Bay semi submerged, possible pieces of a pier or big dock... I can only imagine if a boat were to hit something like that at 20 knots .. Such a tragedy.... Hope we get more information...
