Ashes Scattering Turns Tragic in SF Bay | Bakersfield News

A tragic boating disaster in San Francisco Bay claims three lives after a family’s memorial trip turns into a nightmare when a wave capsizes their cabin cruiser. Sixteen were rescued, including one man who died alongside his dog — his wife, sister, and a friend of his daughter remain missing. Witnesses say the scene was chaotic, with people trapped inside the sinking vessel, likened to a real-life Titanic. The Coast Guard suspended its search after covering 800 square miles, citing pending developments. The sunken boat has been located, but its depth is unknown — divers or drones may soon assess recovery. Rough conditions, with five-foot swells, contributed to the disaster, though no official warnings were issued. The boat’s owner, a veteran sailor and Navy veteran, and the deceased, a longtime sheriff’s deputy, were both deeply respected — their loss hits especially hard for a family already grieving the death of another daughter decades ago.
