Dale's in Coober Pedy thought the worst myself initially seeing the tinny and they said the bloke was from Wellard ..

Yeah, definitely not me guys, yes I'm about a 90 minute drive south of Coober Pedy at Prominent Hill. So this on the ABC news, and yes he's from my neck of the woods but I didn't know him, good chance my wife might have though. RIP old fisho.

Agree with the jackets, talk
Agree with the jackets, talk to the guys that have been involved past 12 months and they tell you it happens in a split second no time to grab anything. Seen a boat go down with 4 guys on board behind me and fishin mate off back of GI last year have worn our jackets since. Not all dingys either.

Firstly condolences to his family. So what is the issue here? Too close to reef again? Just trying to work out the common denominator here.

condolences to his family
I regularly go out in my dinghy by myself. Always wear a lifejacket and if the motor is running always wear the killswitch lanyard. I have had a few moments where I came near to going in the drink and I don't want to end up with my family wondering when/if I'm coming home. Why he was in the water seems to be unknown, the article in perthnow says:"It remains unclear if the man was fishing when he ran into trouble or how he ended up in the water."
