...and then there is the hearsay from the checker at ODFW:
The captain's name was Douglas Davis, and the deck hand, Tammy Buell, was reported as alive. Three other charter boats are out, ahead of him, and crossed the bar without incident.
Earlier witness report:
Pete is camping at Bar View and just called.
There is a terrible accident happening.
It was reported the "Tackitoo" went down with 19 people aboard.
Anyway, 1/2 dozen ambulances, dozens of fire trucks, helicopters and reported, 9 dead.
My heart is wrenched. :depressed: Pete has his daughter, and he can't go down there, and doesn't want to. I guess they are laying out the bodies. :depressed:
