It's always haunted me how experienced Larry's dad was with fishing and boating. They weren't just some guys out there without a clue. I've heard from locals in Newport that Larry's dad knew those waters like the back of his hand. This whole thing raises so many questions for me. I've been going down a rabbit hole about rogue waves and sudden weather changes in that area, thinking maybe something out of the ordinary caught them off guard. But even then, wouldn't there have been some wreckage? Anything? It's the lack of evidence that's the hardest part to wrap my head around. If anyone has more info on the coastal weather or incidents from back then, I'd love to hear it.
I came across an article from a few years back about the disappearance of Larry Lindquist and his family during their fishing trip off the Oregon coast in '91. One detail that stood out to me is how no debris or parts of the boat were ever found. It makes me wonder whether the type of boat they used had any known safety issues or if there were unusual weather conditions reported that day. Given how treacherous that area can be, I can’t help but feel like there's more to uncover about that tragic day. Does anyone know if the Coast Guard report from that time is available to the public, or if the family ever pursued a deeper investigation into what happened?
Hey everyone, I've been thinking a lot about the equipment that might have been on board during Larry Lindquist's fishing trip back in '91. Given the unpredictability of the Oregon coast weather, I'm wondering what kind of safety gear they might have had with them. Life jackets, a radio, maybe even flares? The fact that the Coast Guard found no survivors or even the boat itself is baffling. If the boat capsized unexpectedly, would they have had time to grab the life jackets or send out a distress call? Anyone with knowledge of fishing trips in that area, what kind of precautions are typically taken? I'm curious if there might be lessons from similar situations that could shed some light on this tragedy.
