Cape Coral boat crash: Social media reaction<\/p>\n
Debbie Flann Keighley said in the SWFL Boaters Facebook group: So very sorry and many prayers for all involved<\/p>\n
Sandy Yohe Guffey said on Facebook:\u00a0The river is very dangerous boating on the weekend. We are avid boaters, on the water at least 3 days a week, traveled the river last sat to ft myers beach and there was very little boater courtesy. Our boat is a 26ft with a 300p and get washed out at times, many boats just fly by and no consideration for wakes or you. MM is the worse are with huge wakes from all the boats. Most areas are max speed 25 but very rarely you see anyone going 25. The river needs to be patrolled to prevent these accidents and mandate boaters course for all boaters. Its season so many snowbirds have no clue but just go. Prayers for all involved. Please be safe out there<\/p>\n
