It is always tragic to hear of incidents like this because they are avoidable and unnecessary.
My thoughts are with his family, I just hope he wasn't a member from SAI, still, it happened to be a few from us over the years too unfortunately, despite our best efforts to educate the newbies.
It's not always the newcomers either I'm sad to say.
Over self confidence and underestimation of the powers of the sea has never been a good adviser. RIP.
