Per today’s newspaper when the boat capsized they were all together, someone threw out a box of 6 life jackets, Bond was last seen holding onto the overturned boat. They said that the current and the wind had them all seperated within minutes. I pray that there is a happy ending to this story. His friends and family are in my prayers.
