From a posting on Sailing Anarchy:

"I saw the Hobie 16 guys sail out at Ledbetter and all I could get think was...these guys are nuts.
They had no PFD's and looked like amateur sailors based on their boat handling.
Big puffs at Ledbetter and it was even windier offshore, where they went.
At one point they were @ 2 miles offshore in 25 plus.

Sad thing when the sea raises it's hand and smacks those who do not show respect.

Bummer someone had to die to show us all, to respect the sea. "

There was another post there stating the body was found yesterday on the beach...doesn't jive with the NPR report this monring.
