On the morning news there was film of the rescue of three men (and the loss of two) from a large sailboat transitint to Bermuda. The TV news said rogue wave, but the story on the site that I found (attached) made no mention of a rogue wave. In an interview, a survivor said it felt like they were hit by a car. Big boat- from the grainy CG offtage looked like a Waquiz or other pilot house boat. The TV story said the Captain had made 25 crossings to Bermuda. Sad, and puzzling. If done by a rogue wave, that would be second one in a short time, as cruise ship was damaged off the East Coast not long ago. Anyone have more information? Roger

No Harnesses I Think

According to this article he got washed off deck when trying to get the lifeboat. I wonder if he had harness & jacklines on. Doesn't sound like it. The three other passengers who were aboard got rescued from the boat... the linked story gives some more details...
