I've been thinking a lot about the unsettling disappearance of Germano DiLorenzo back in '96. What stands out to me is the fact that the area they were boating in, near Greyhound Rock, is known for unpredictable waters. I wonder if there have been other similar incidents there? It seems like such a dangerous spot, especially for someone who couldn't swim. Sometimes I think about how, in coastal areas, conditions can go from calm to treacherous so quickly. I can't help but think about how crucial it is for everyone to be prepared with safety gear, regardless of their swimming ability. Makes you wonder about the safety protocols and how things might have ended differently if DiLorenzo had been wearing a life jacket. Anyone else familiar with this area who can shed some light on other boating accidents there?

Hey everyone, I’ve been following the Germano DiLorenzo case for a while now, and I came across a detail that made me think about boating safety practices of the 90s. It seems that back then, stricter safety protocols might not have been as enforced or as common knowledge as they are today. Does anyone else think the captain or crew might've been operating under a false sense of security since personal flotation devices (PFDs) weren’t mandatory for everyone onboard? Also, with these types of excursions, especially when you're off the coast, wouldn't it be common to have a radio or some form of communication with the shore? It's just tragic to consider how simple safety measures like this might've made a difference that day. What are your thoughts on how boating safety standards have evolved, and could stricter regulations have potentially altered the outcome in cases like Germano's?
