question for boat people: how does this happen? 

@justhookit can elaborate, but you can back down on a fish in choppy seas and possibly have something similar.

Looks almost like whatever is attached to the line created a sea anchor and pulled the stern low enough for the boat to start taking on water. Escalation ensued.

I did that once at Walsh Landing on Lake Austin 60 years ago. 
Launched my 15’ Glasspar runabout, left my gf holding the line at the dock while I parked my car & trailer up in the lot. 
When walking back down the driveway, I noticed the boat was low in the stern and gf had a bewildered look on her face. 
Of course I had forgotten to insert the drain plug. 
We bailed enough out so it could start and get underway slowly, then fast enough to pull the plug for it all to drain out at speed. 
Near thing, but we still had a fun time out skiing.

What’s that on her left hand? Looks like you had a pre-Mrs. Brat engagement. 

We had an “understanding”, but then I met the future Mrs.Brat.

I had a 24' Baretta with a 140 Merc inboard. After getting it out of the boat shop for the 100th time or so I launched it, tied up to the dock and went to park the truck. Same as Brat I noticed it was sitting low in the stern. I had no idea where the plug was because it was supposed to be in. I grabbed a koozie, cut out a hunk and shoved it in. Then I ran back to the truck, loaded the boat and drained it on the ramp. Found the plug laying under the engine.

True but just filling the cockpit isn’t going to cause a boat like that to sink. Heck we’ve done it numerous times and just did again last week. A boat capsizing like that is almost always a series of failures and that boat sure went down quick. From the moment the video started they already knew they were sinking - you see the life raft tossed down. I’m sure there is more to that story and the boat was taking on water from somewhere in the hull.

Anytime. Just get yourself to Costa Rica. We did a Shaggy fishing trip when I had a boat in Port Aransas. Need to do another one down here.

Marina Pez Vela on the Pacific side. The town is called Quepos, but most people refer to this area as Manuel Antonio.

We frequent Santa Teresa on Puntarena peninsula.  Had a great day fishing in March.  I've considered buying down there and spending at least half my time there.  That's much less likely now with one grandNNM in Co. and another on the way in Houston.

I didn't see a request for a new law there.  As you point out, it sounds more like a request to make a new law than one to enforce what we have?

 Just for fun and tournaments.

I haven’t spent much time up there but I know a lot of people who really like it. Down here my marina is building condos and I recently bought one. When it is finished the plan is about 8-9 months a year here. The last few years I’ve averaged about 6 months here so not much difference. I just love this country (and the fishing).

It be nice if cops actually broke them up in a timely fashion, but other than that them killing themselves is the next best option.
