.....Only hope he went....doing what he loved
I am sure his family will miss him dearly

I also hope it makes more people think before they go boating, of the safety required when boating

saw on the news the footage of the boat , it had pro fisherman numbers on the side.

A sad loss, he was alone, crossing a bar in bad conditions.

I guess he had done it hundreds of times before.

A reminder to us all to always be extra careful, you don't get a second chance.

Heard the news this morning.(great way to start the day)
Was only up there on the weekend, And feel this tragic accident reminds everyone of the dangers when crossing coastal bars.

I very nearly came to grief crossing the bar at Wooli in NSW some years back. I am sad to hear of this man and I am sure we all feel for his family. The sea can sometimes be very unforgiving.
