I thought that, too-I’ve never heard of a fishing charter booking 11 people for a boat that small-most specify no more than 6-7b people-and why was a charter boat-of any size out there running around where there had been several whales sighted in the 1st place? Sounds like a dumb thing to do...

I remember a tuna boat going straight down in the ocean. The theory was that a submarine got caught in the netting. No idea which country.

The boat that was capsized is towed to shore.

Here is the charter boat that capsized. It is bigger than it looked when upside down ...

Looks to be about the same size that our group of ~10 people took out into the Portland ME harbor to pull up lobster traps and oyster trays.

I am NOT showing this thread to my family ...

Bird-watching groups go “watching”, not fishing. Lots of 28’ boats certified t0 carry even more than 11 passengers.
