Missing Fisherman
Anyone see the news regarding the boat "Wild Thing"? Missing boater Joe Jones was not on the boat when the USCG found it over 250 miles off Morro Bay. Not looking good at this point.

Even worse when you're out there by yourself, no one around to radio in an emergency........prayers for family.

Has anything else been posted on this one? The coast guard story didn't have a lot of information in it.

I did an internet search yesterday for more information and couldn't find anything. I figured they found an empty boat.

This makes taking another person and buddy boating seem like the way to go.
