Title: Fishing Charter Killing Tourists in Sitka!
Post by: Truman62 on 06 03, 23, 02:05:44:PM
“Official boat owner,” he wrote when he posted the photo on social media last October, to congratulatory responses from friends.

Seven months later, the boat he named Awakin — “like a boat waking someone” — was found partially submerged off an island west of Sitka in a tragedy that left Robidou and four customers dead or lost at sea and put a spotlight on the safety of the region's vibrant charter fishing industry.

“I can’t remember when we had any kind of fatality in our industry, so this is shocking for us,” said Richard Yamada, who sits on various industry boards, including the Alaska Charter Association and the Southeast Alaska Guides Organization. “We’re really curious to see what happened.”

It's unclear where the Awakin went or what might have happened to it, but it was last seen near Sitka on Sunday afternoon and was found partially submerged around 7 p.m. Sunday off Low Island, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of Sitka, the Coast Guard has said.

Efforts to recover the vessel have been hampered by strong winds and rough seas, including significant tidal currents that hindered the work of divers, but a salvage company was expected to try again Saturday, conditions permitting.

The sisters were found inside the cabin, and Maury Agcaoili’s body was discovered near the boat. Solis and Robidou have not been found, and the Coast Guard called off its search late Monday after covering 825 square miles (2,100 square kilometers) in more than 20 hours.



Where was Dan during all this?

Authorities need to check his alibi...

Why do you assume I am obligated to respond?

Accidents happen.

There was a small craft advisory in the area where the boat was found Sunday, warning mariners of roughly 17 mph (27 kph) winds and 10-foot (3-meter) seas with rain during the day and slightly stronger winds and similarly high seas later in the day, said Pete Boyd, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

In addition to potentially rough seas and high winds, the area features rocks that can seemingly rise even from deep water, posing hazards to boats.

Yamada speculated that Robidou apparently did not have time to make a mayday call, suggesting that a rogue wave could have suddenly flipped the boat.

Truman thinks a boat captain is responsible for rough seas and rogue waves!

For all he knows the boat captain was returning to port after receiving the warning!

Truman, what is this pointless thread all about?

Do you know?

Apparently to accuse me of manslaughter or murder, since he can’t compete in the arena of ideas with me.

He’s taking after Fuhrer Jw2.

Boy Scout leaders.

Nope, it would be teachers as there are far more teachers than boy scout leaders!

Were you a boy scout leader auggie?

I bet BOTH Of you are Boy Scout leaders, and you just LOVE to take the boys camping
in your "SPECIAL" Place in the woods, that everyone is forbidden to talk about, right?


Seemed awful strange that Dan took so long to answer, and he STILL hasn't denied it.

Rough seas and high winds is the PERFECT opportunity for a murder on a boat.

Why do so many people die in Alaska, and THAT is where Dan is?
Coincidence?  I think not...

I'm just asking questions.

If Dan has NOTHING to hide, then why won't he answer?

Why are you protecting him?

You haven't denied it either.  We haven't denied shooting MLK either.  So?

THAT is where Dan is?

Is that a question?  Are you asking me where I am?

Why don't you think it's a coincidence?  Do you have any evidence I was anywhere near Sitka, let alone committed murder there?  Do you even know where Sitka is?

Someone died in Dallas ... I'm sure it was because of you.  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)  WTF?

Nope.  You're accusing me of murder.

Because I don't have to.  As the accuser, YOU have to PROVE your accusation.

Well?  Where is your proof that I murdered those people, Liar62?
