It was not very smart.....and apparently, they waited too long to get out of the weather in time. Plus, they were out 50 miles when boats of that size are discouraged from going out more than 35 miles from shore.

When the front finally arrived on the west coast of Florida, the temp dropped about 15 degrees and the wind went from nothing to 15-30 MPH gusts. Impressive on land, deadly on the water.

It happens often to people... this got news because of who they were.
