    29 footer with 20 people in the ocean seems like a poor plan

    They said the boat is a Mako 29 foot cuddy. Probably looks something like this.

    Just slightly overloaded.  USCG will tell you 1 person for every 3’ of boat on “Yacht Certified” boats, a boat with a capacity placard goes by that instead.

    Well, needless to say, the search has been called off.  The 20 people are probably dead.  I doubt they were there for recreation.  You'd have to be pretty desperate to risk a trip like that.

    Yaa for sure,

    Saw an article yesterday that implied human smuggling, especially based on the track of the boat.

    Probably just running shoes left floating around....

    I have read all kinds of theories. One implied it was a fake call and there never was a missing boat. All in order to draw resources away from the area so some sort of smuggling operation could take place.
