Sunk at Ecofina!

I just heard a while ago that some T'ville boys went this past weekend and one left his boat down there, in the water!
Story I heard was one wave swamped over, they were bailing, and a second wave took them.
That's all I know. They were rescued.

We took one over the side on Sunday. A 3 foot wave in a boat with a 1 foot side. At least we saw it coming and made a quarter manuever.

We were 40 feet from shore. Most of the waves were 1 1/2 to 2. The freak was 3 and closer together than the others.

I was told it was one of the older baasboat styles, narrow with a semi-trihull. Also was told the law wants them to git her outa there!
