J_Cousin...Please accept my condolences. At least the family may be at peace now.

Here is what the news is saying:

His body was recovered around noon Tuesday while flying around the area.
The body was transported to Twifords Funeral Home to the Medical Examiners Office located in Greenville, NC for routine autopsy purposes.
There was no indication of foul play and any other information related to the autopsy will be released at a further date.

I am sorry for the loss of your cousin. Thank you for letting us know how things came out. You've been in our thoughts and prayers for some time now, and will continue to be.

I, for one, will be more diligent in making sure I am tethered to my boat when I am sailing alone. I trust that the rest of the Sailnet community will also learn from this tragedy and do likewise.

This ain't about you, chief. You got some kinda balls comin' in here and talkin' sh*t about people who actually contribute to this forum. Take your six posts and sit down, meat.

Crap, here we go again. A newbie who's going to tell us how to run the site!

Maybe the missing man fell over board when a power boater came roaring by

To all the family,
You are indeed in our prayers.
From the beginning this story did not have a good outlook.
I am glad that you now have some closure to the situation and that you all now have the opportunity to lay this to rest.
The sailing community has lost one of it's own, and we are all saddened by this.
