As If Finishing in Last wasn't enough

While this may not make national news, the bay area community is in a frenzy over the story coming out of Florida about missing Oakland Raider linebacker Marquis Cooper. Cooper, along with three other men were in Florida and took a 21-foot single engine boat out for a day of fishing. The boat never returned.

According to Coast Guard Captain Timothy Close, seas were well developed, and in no condition for a 21-foot boat to be tackeling. To give you a sense of that size, observe my picture of my wakeboard boat, which is 20 feet, 9 in long. With this boat being in seas of swells of at least 7 ft, is it really any wonder that the boat disappeared.
