Dave Boys' family was in my thoughts and prayers today as I was on the lake. I will always think of Dave when I look at the Mallard Marine emblem plate on my Marsh Rat.
Sad news from Oregon.....

Words can not express the profound feelings these events bring to bear on a joyous holiday weekend. The loss of one of our own to the conditions most of us covet is very quickly tempering the excitement of hunts planned for the days ahead. Hearing the dispair in Worths post on the MLB does not make it any easier. My father lost his best friend and his son to a bad NE gale in the 80's off the north coast of Massachusets. I think he still worries when I go now.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. We as waterfowl hunters are drawn to the power and beauty of the late gales and the birds that ride them down. May the wind that took you carry you on with the seasons and remind each one of us of your life and works each time it blows.
Worth stated on the MLB forum that we should send letters to this address:
The Family, Mallard Marine, 5700 SE Foster, Portland, Oregon 97206.

Sorry to hear that. Here is a clipping from the paper.
"ASTORIA, Ore. - Searchers recovered the body of a 63-year-old Molalla man from Tillamook Bay Wednesday night after he reportedly went missing while duck hunting.
Authorities did not release his name Wednesday night.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the man's hunting partner reported him missing at the Coast Guard's Tillamook Bay station about 6:30 p.m. The hunting pair had taken two eight-foot duck boats into the bay but were separated by outgoing tides.
Officials used a 47-foot lifeboat and a Coast Guard helicopter to search for the man. Teams from the Garibaldi and Tillamook fire departments joined the search and found the man's body near a jetty shortly after 7 p.m.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Tillamook County sheriff's department is conducting an investigation into the man's death. "

It's sad to hear that the waterfowling community lost one of its best in David Boys. I hope and pray that his family and friends will get through this okay. It must be especially hard for Worth.
God Bless all those touched by his life and death.
