> As he was in the water, the USCG was more concerned with tying his boat to theirs than trying to rescue him. Safe to say the boat flipped and then they secured his boat to their boat.

I've capsized in at least 5 different boats. None of them sank.

Well, congratulations and good luck with your future drowning.

It's very difficult to drown in a PFD, that's the whole point of the garment.

Used to have to do it once a year as part of a swimming fit test. Never once did it sink. If it did, it would in 12' of water at low tide, which was deep enough. Couldn't imagine having to do it in "only" fifty feet.

??? Capsize and sink do not mean the same thing. Odds are he still has possession of the boat. It's location wouldn't matter. HOWEVER, USCG ships are fitted with a GPS system called AIS. They could release the data, which would show if they were in Canadian waters.

Even tiny fishing boats use GPS these days. He probably has his own with its own metadata, unless he's too old school for that. Hell, his PHONE should have metadata proving he never crossed the border.

In an interview, he mentioned losing his phone when he capsized.

Capsized means "flipped over/filled with water." So not a boat still in place at bottom of lake No, I was not "fucking with you," I was trying to have a substantive conversation. But glad at least others picked up on that at least, the ideas for either/both parties to release GPS records are great!
