Been blowing like stink here the last two days with gusts over 30 knots and the water is still 51 degrees. Not a likely great scenario for the children.

I hope they are found too, but they probably drown.

Hopefully they put on PFDs before they went out after the ball.
At least they might find some remains that way.
Sad deal.

I don’t think that’s Kennedy bad luck. I think it’s just stupidity in this case

Boating 101 says that you need to wear a life jacket when you go out in a boat. If they drowned, I'd chalk it up to typical Kennedy arrogance on the part of the child's mother.

I wouldnt have taken a 28’ CC out the last two days... a canoe or kayak is just nuts! Way to cold to be messing around like that, especially in 30+mph winds... thats big water. I hate to be negative but there isnt going to be a happy ending to this one.

Pugs: Thank you for that information - in that case I must ask what in the hell was that woman thinking taking a youngster out on the ocean in a canoe?
Sheesh.
Still sad - I am puzzled they have not been found - probably no PFD's on?
Shame.

I also fear for the first responders looking for them. Like the previous post with the conditions present a canoe or kayak is really not appropriate for the conditions.

Ejp1234: Thank you as well for that update/information.
This brings back some, many actually, sad memories of drowned people I used to "retrieve" professionally as a Police Officer, that eventually was assigned to the Harbor Unit.
Especially sad/ disturbing when the drowned persons were young or children.
What a waste.
Still a sad shame.

Boatammo: We retrieved a lot of "hypothermia" victims who were thought to have drowned.
I handled 3 or 4 "zipper-down drownings" - these were usually retired men who went out fishing alone in their 12' aluminum kicker boats in the cold waters of Puget Sound/Elliott Bay. And when time came to relieve themselves they stood up "unzipped" and let fly! Sadly they would fall in that desperately cold water and before they could struggle back into their boats they would die of hypothermia!
They would almost always have PFD's on though - which made them easy to find.
Yeah nothing good about humans drowning (or dying of hypothermia!) - other than it is a relatively quick way to go.

Bad luck, or bad judgement?
Good job Mom.
I feel bad for the 8-year old.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
