Drowned American Sailor?
Sad news today. At least they have recovered his body so his loved ones can get some peace.
Cheers

Yes really sad news, & so close to the safety of Mooloolaba Harbour. It was a wild night here with lots of squalls from the South East. So he would have been exhausted from bashing into them.
