    is there much else to know other than the boat sunk? Non-suspicious according to the folks at WIN news.

    Isn’t that police code for suicide?

    The Pelican just couldn’t take it anymore?

    Second boat of same owner to sink in similar circumstances in four years. I bet his insurer will be looking at this one closely!

    As the owner said in the CT today, boats can sink from innocuous things like prop shaft seals failing. Unfortunate for him – especially as how his first MV Pelican burnt a few years ago. And for the tourists who will miss out on a pleasant bruise on the lake.
