They are all okay. They were picked up by another boat. I would also like to know what really happened.
Mark it was so calm yesterday that I was 19 miles offshore with the bay boat trolling for yahoo. We ended the day with 2 sails, 1 cuda, a couple bonita, 3 strikes don't know what they were and no hooters

I just like the way the folks in the boat that was filming along-side were hootin and hollering like it was hilarious...

I agree with you, I bet those guys would'nt be laughing if it was there boat or if the runaway boat hit another boat.
PSL inlet is pretty busy and the odds of a boat going that far and not hitting another boat is unreal.

A buddy and I are working on a console mat similar to the SeaDek product that has a built in kill switch activated by pressure. I personally have an Auto Teather. Nice product, but you still have to set it and wear it. Its a long shot because money is tight be we are trying to have something in time for the AC boat show in February.

Exactly what I was thinking. Of course my boat doesn't have hydraulic steering (or autopilot...whatever was keeping them on course), nor can it run as fast as they appeared to be running, so they would have been laughing at my boat going in a tight, slow circle...
