I've been thinking a lot about the case of Carlos Amaral and the other men on "Dad Sea Cave," and something that stands out to me is the timing of when they were reported missing. If they set out early in the morning and hadn't returned by 2:00 p.m., but were only reported missing later that evening, is there any information about why there was such a delay? I’ve read about cases where quick reporting made a big difference in search and rescue efforts. Maybe someone local or familiar with fishing in that area can chime in. What’s a typical timeframe for returning from a trip like that, especially if you’re fishing near Race Point? I’m curious about what the usual protocol is and whether there could have been a missed opportunity for a faster response.
I came across an interesting point while reading about Carlos Amaral's disappearance. Something that often gets overlooked in these discussions is the timing and weather conditions on the day they went missing. November 8, 2016, had reports of changing weather patterns around Cape Cod. Although it was fairly calm in the morning, things can shift quickly in that area. Has anyone dug into how rapidly the conditions worsened that afternoon? It seems plausible that unexpected rough weather could have caught them off guard. Maybe someone local could chime in about typical weather changes during that season and if there's a chance it played a bigger role than we realized. Just trying to see if there's something in those details that could lead us to new theories.
