That is sad. As a fellow sailor on the Great Lakes, it is easy to see how this could happen at night when he was going to the bow of the boat to tend a sail. I wonder if he left off his PFD/life jacket since he had a friend on the boat? Or perhaps he simply hit his head as he went overboard. That said, sailing at night is really, really nice. I sail solo oftentimes and tie into the boat via lifelines when I do so just in case I lose my footing and start to go overboard. There is no sight worse than watching your boat sail away without you when you are far offshore. At night it is common practice to tie in via lifelines even if there are other crew on the boat since it is difficult to find someone in the dark and a boat moving at only a couple of miles an hour quickly moves away from the man overboard. Obviously he loved sailing and he had a beautiful boat. But 62 is way too early to go. :-( I think I will check my lifelines a second time the next time I go out.
