Default Newmoon sent me an update..

Hope this doesn't step on Don's wishes, but he talked with me on my face book page and said the USCG reported that the body he found last week was a jumper from the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel from October 8th.

That's a long time to be in the water, and I would've thought it would have drifted north.

I truly feel bad for the victim and his family and especially Newmoon, that's a horrible thing to experience when you want to go out fishing and have a good time with your friends.

Thanks for the update. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims family and with Newmoon and his crew. It's a terrible thing to happen upon, but at least the family can have some closure now hopefully.

What was the deal with the anchor being tied around his waist Chris? That's a long ways for a body to drift without that anchor snagging on something

Thanks for the update Chris. I've been wondering about that. David, I'm just guessing but I think the anchor was tied real close. That's how they knew it was there without pulling him on board.

Man what a shame.

There was an article of the backpage (surprise) of the Coastland Times a few days ago (I will try to find the artice). Don was quoted & told the story pretty well from what I can tell, also they mentioned that it was suicide.
