Guys, another tragic story about how drinking and poor boat handling can end in disaster.

"If reports are correct, a BOC member - Bob Axford/bobsyiruncle - has lost his wife, Nancy Axford , and another friend, in a tragic boat accident where their 38xx was struck by a Baja speedboat on Lake St. Clair, in Michigan."

I'm very sorry for his loss, drinking and operation don't go together. I think all boat captains should ban together and make an effort to stop these kind of accidents. We should put ourselves a level higher than those whom just drive a car.

A litte late to the story, we discussed that weeks ago. So sad.

That's okay. I have hardly ever been on BOC, but if I am not mistaken, Bob is a fairly well known and well liked person over there. It really hits home when you find it's someone whom you have seen online...It very easily could have happened to one of us.

Stay safe everyone.

I saw a thread on THT that was recently posted and that's why I thought it was new news. I know there has been talk about the BOC site on here before and I think some of our members are on both boards. I just wanted to create awareness and reach those that can send condolences from our board to theirs.

I share your sentiments - Stay safe everyone.....
