For some reason, I really like the "Bush's fault" posts - they make me laugh. My sense of humor must not be too sophisticated :-)

I am really wondering, though, why the Ethan Allen capsized in calm water. Wake from another boat, short of something really big, like a ship, shouldn't have done it. Has to be a stability problem of some kind IMO.

Only thing I can think of is if everybody rushed to one side of the boat to see something.

That might cause a small boat with relatively narrow beam to capsize.

I'm glad Sam... You're the lucky one... it's more fun to laugh than it is to be annoyed.

The boat is probably pretty top-heavy, and broadside to a big wake, it doesn't have a lot of freebhoard.

errr.... freeboard.

Fox News was talking with a guy on-scene who had talked with eyewitnesses, and they were telling him that a wake from a bigger boat, The Mohican is what capsized the Ethan Allan
