My regards and prayers to the family for their loss
just to let the boys know if you already dont there was a tragic boating accident her on Long Island yesterday afternoon three men in a garvey duck rig struck a marker pole on the south shore and one man was seriouslly hurt and another lost his life the third was not hurt as far as the news reports here on the local news station , they were on their way back from goose hunting in the freeport area.
 
A friend called me this morning to tell me about the accident. Very sad news. He was a real nice guy. He took us on my first brant hunt years ago.
 
Sad news...

"The hunting party was returning to the Guy Lombardo Marina via Swift Creek when Weyant, who police said was distracted by a mechanical issue, apparently failed to see a 10-foot-tall wooden piling that serves as a marker in Woodcleft Channel"


Sad, but preventable. If you can't maintain 100% attention to where you are heading, stop the boat, deal with the distraction, then continue. Its ashame, a guy with that much experience is the last guy you'd think would run into a marker.
 
I read in another article that perhaps he had a heart attack....may have been just a terrible accident. It sucks no matter how you spin it. Dave
