Very sad... Not sure of the details but a lot of people get caught off guard thinking “It’s the bay, how bad could it get?”

I’ve encountered a lot more and much worse conditions in the bay over the years then in the ocean. This typically happens when you have a strong wind against tide situation. This causes the waves, particularly in the bay, to get very steep and stack up so close, they break on each other and you’re like a cork in a washing machine. If you were to loose steering or your engine in these sorts of conditions it’s trouble, especially in a small boat.


Be safe and remember, getting back in is more important then getting out.
