Desert Storm boat flip

[Buoy]

I'm getting early reports that a gray 31 DCB went over.
No details yet.
Both occupants reportedly ok.

The update I'm getting is it was a DCB M35 out of TX.
Rumor to be this one.
Oregon Custom Marine

Don't you just love the way everyone just keeps blowing on by instead of stopping to render assistance???

 

[poncho]

Not good. Hope nobody was injured.

Looks like the boat was one of Tim's from OCM. Glad they are all okay considering what could have happened.

Need more helicopters.

Wow, that was dramatic

 

[Ratickle]

Have you talked with Tim? He was alongside when it happened and was one of the first to turn around I believe.

 

[Ratickle]

I can't tell why, but driving directly through a roost at that kind of speed is a good way to have more than what happened be the outcome. Lucky people......

I'll give him a shout

Looks like the boat crossed through the roostertail about 60 to 80 feet behind the boat in front. Not a good thing to do.

I'm really curious if there was a reason he had to do that? Too much other traffic or an anchored boat in the way?

Heard they were rolling cigarettes too......

Boat was on the cover of PBM in 2009...

Could have been a lot worse......
