Man that's kind of sad.

Having run big boats with towers I can easily understand how that could happen,and I've heard of people falling out of towers and getting thrown into the water, or hurt on the deck, but it's amazing to see someone actually got pics of it.

At least he died doing what he loved, looks like a beautiful day out there.

Until last month I was a boat owner and I know first hand how easy it is to fall out of a boat, never happened to me but I had a very very close call once.....scared the crap out of me. I fished alone about 75% of the time and hooped alone about 60% of the time so my chances of something going wrong and no one being there to help were skyhigh but like Jim said, "At least he died doing what he loved......"

I just saw more photos on another site turns out he was not in the tower but at the second set of controls on the flybridge.

Talk about a freak accident though, that's a lot of boat to get thrown around like that. I've been bounced around a bit but I've never never had anything throw me off the wheel and certainly not out of a flybridge.
