Equally foolish were the nine people who piled into a 16-ft. outboard and put to sea from York, Me., last June. Naturally, the boat soon foundered; eight of the nine boaters drowned. All nine might have been saved if they had only thought to carry life jackets. But a lot of people do not bother with them. And why? Consider the answer of one power-boater on Oregon's Willamette River when a Coast Guard safety check found no life...
Hippies at Sea. Navigation is a sore point. "You'd be amazed at how many people think they can find their way around coastal waters with nothing but a highway road map," says one Coast Guardsman.

Although Schrade was the one who appeared dead...
