Sounds like he was grabbing from shore not a boat.  In any case our condolences go out to his family.

I crab that area all summer. Hard to see how anyone could drown from shore as the entire cove even at high tide doesn't get much deeper than 4-5 feet and there is little water movement. Still very sad to see.

Whitney Houston drown in a bathtub - she could have been considered incapacitated at the time by her habits - BUT in such conditions a quart of water can do the trick.

Hey - even Michael Phelps can't swim if he's unconscious!

While you may feel a little silly wearing a vest when no one else is, at least you'll be in better shape if everything goes from sugar to [shiz], which it can do in a heartbeat.

My condolences to the family, at least they can be heartened by the fact that he died doing something he loved.

I can only stress on so many things in one day - looks like you're not making the list. Tomorrow isn't looking so hot, either.
