    Sad story out of Abacos. While this article doesn't mention it, according to local sources the couple were on a small inflatable, possibly as small as 8’.

    safety cut off are important, but maybe keeping a second one on board is a good idea…

    It s been blowing hard in the Bahamas over the last few days so I have a feeling it wasn’t the current which cause her to float away but the wind pushing the dinghy away.
