Police reported that two people were killed in a Chesapeake Bay boating accident off Virginia Beach last Wednesday and have been identified as Arizona residents. They died after the 18 foot aluminum boat capsized in cold, choppy water. The six boaters departed from the Lynnhaven Boat ramp and Beach House and phoned in a distress call to the Coast Guard shortly before 9 a.m.
A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued two of them and the others were recovered by boat. The National Weather Service said the water temperature was 46 degrees at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. It had also issued a small craft advisory with waves up to 5 feet high and strong winds. Now tell me, why would anyone go out with a weather warning like that? That was crazy and 2 lost their lives because of it.
