I stumbled upon something curious while looking into the Forshee case, and I couldn't believe how it's often overlooked—the weather conditions on April 16, 1973. From what I gather, there were no significant storms reported in the area between Miami and Marco Island that day, which seems odd considering the boat and all men are still missing without a trace. No signs of bad weather make you wonder what really happened out there. Were there any rogue waves or unexpected patches of rough seas that might've tipped them over? Or maybe it's something entirely different at play? It just seems strange that they could vanish without a trace under supposedly clear conditions, especially with five people missing in total, including Robert Stone. Any locals here who could shed light on typical fishing challenges in those waters around that time of year?

Has anyone looked into the weather reports from April 1973? I'm really curious about how the conditions could have impacted the Forshee fishing trip. It's a small detail, but given they were on an 18-foot boat, even moderate weather could have been dangerous. Marco Island doesn't really have any huge waves or storms typically, but the Gulf can be unpredictable. I'm wondering if a storm could have caught them, or if this might help explain any irregularities in the timeline of the trip. If anyone has access to historical weather data or knows more about the weather that weekend, it might shed some light on what happened to these guys. It's a long shot, but every piece of info counts in a mystery like this.
