There was a mayday broadcast after a man overboard situation. I assume from the boat.

I wonder if the one who perished got hit on his head or was a non swimmer and the other two went in to try to save him?

I didn’t notice was a pfd used?

Kudos to Stena Progress for rescuing two.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to provide you with some more information on what happened. The owners of the boat were the previous owners of the house my wife and I bought. They were lifelong, highly skilled sailors who dreamt of selling their house to sail all over the world. Unfortunately, as you all know now, tragedy struck that day when Don was lost at sea. They had hired a Captain only days before the event just so they could enjoy everything more.

Here is the obituary:
