The owner of the sailboat is a close friend of mine. This is the most blatant example of corruption I have ever seen. His fiance was a wonderful person, and none of these sailors did anything to deserve what has happened. Short story is they went out for an evening cruise after a regatta and were hit by a motor boat travelling at close to 50 mph after dark which happened to have a Lake County Sherriff at the helm. Yes, the sailboat had their running lights on. Here is a link to the story: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=i_team&id=5565603 Latitude 38 has also been covering this. I ask that you do what you can as a member of the sailing community, or as a responsible member of society in general to right this situation. I will restrain my opinions until you have a chance to view the story and also read the blog link listed on the page if you have a chance.
