In good news, Nick Schuyler, one of the missing boat members, was found today clinging to the capsized boat, conscious but very weak and tired. In more sobering news, neither Oakland Raiders linebacker Marqis Cooper or Detroit Lions free agent Corey Smith, have been found.
The water they’re in is 64 degrees, and at that temperature it takes roughly 18 hours for hypothermia to set in. The coast guard is actively looking for the two men, but at this point each day becomes a lesser and lesser chance of survival.
My thoughts and prayers are with these men if they’re still floating out there somewhere. Hopefully more good news will come, and each of them will be able to return to their families.
