Pushing her overboard and claiming it was accidental death might have been a good plan, but when did he intend to do it? To get rid of her AND the baby, he would have had to have done it while she was pregnant, right? Well, she was 8mo. pregnant and he still hadn't taken her fishing or whatever excuse he'd been planning on using (following your train of thought, that is). I mean, what 8mo pregnant woman decides to go fishing/sailing on a little rowboat like that? That's not believable. And it wouldn't be believable if she'd never gone fishing with him before--it would have been out of character and implausible to those who knew her.

Maybe that was his plan, though. The bost was supposed to be a Christmas present. Maybe he figured he could con her into going fishing by saying they just had to try out the new boat??

And of course when she 'accidentally' fell overboard, her feet happened to get tangled in the lines of the spare anchors....
