Tragic news from yesterday's running of the boats.... ;-(

According to NRP spokeswoman Candy Thomson, the vintage boat operated by Charles David Downs, 58, was traveling on Breton Bay at about 80 mph “when the bow raised up and the boat flipped over, ejecting the driver. Within minutes he was found unconscious by a local fire boat and taken to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was stabilized and flown to MedStar Washington Hospital Center for surgery. He died shortly before 1 a.m.
