My prayers are with the family's involved and really hope the guy in hospital can pull through tonight..
just watched the news they didn't say much on how they got burnt. Wouldn't think just fuel in the water would do this..
If that's the case you learn something new everyday.
Call me Brad as that's my name..

From the west.com
The men had hypothermia and chemical-type burns to their backs and legs and were taken to Two Rocks marina.

Apparently was due to the fuel vapours in the water according to CH7 tonight?
Hope all pull through!

And why did the EPIRB fail after only 40 minutes
Would really like the story on that part of the issue - really feel for the families as the delays caused by it's failure might well have made a huge difference to the outcome - what brand and why ??

It could be the EPIRB wasn't
It could be the EPIRB wasn't unstrapped from it's holder so when the boat went under it ended up at the bottom of the ocean too which the boat shouldn't do with positive bouyancy unless it's an old boat before those requirements came in
Makes me wonder how my thunderbird would go if it took on water

They hadn't transfered
They hadn't transfered ownership of epirb either so they rang previous owner who relayed info about who had bought boat

I also hope all is well and send best wishes to the family, I was out there as well and the weather report was far from what it was supposed to be, this is not the first time the report has been seriously incorrect forTwoRocks.
The media also need to take some responsibility for the comment that it was good conditions with only 1 meter of swell, the wind chop was more than a meter.
