Paulie them meet the perfect storm out there,an it maybe capsize the boat an sharks are hungry these time off year, so i pray to god they jump on sumone els boat an will be home soon,bless
Paul will not be coming back so u all need to shut the hell up
The sea was terrible that week end, three fishermen went missing from Anguilla that Saturday after leaving shore the Friday.
They were found the Sunday afternoon 29 miles west of Anguilla clinging to an overturned boat short of one man who was never found.
The sea was beyond small craft warning.
hmm tola to st marteen sound like a drug run gon bad
Yeah you would know that right
I do not know anyone in this tragedy. Whether or not it was an illegal journey that lead these men to their demise, who are we to jump to conclusion without any proof? In fact who are we to judge? Dead or Alive (the latter I hope) these men are somebody’s son, brother, friend, uncle and the list goes on. Please have respect for them and do not post negative comments. Rather, be supportive. The families are already in pain. Why add to it? To the families, I pray your loved ones are alive and are found soon. Worst case scenario, if they are dead, (God rest their souls) I hope their bodies are found so that the families can say good-bye properly and have conclusion.
Manolo… thoughts for you too.
“hope for the best,get ready for the worst and accept what god sent”
But I though Tony Montana already killed MANOLO…..I guess he didn’t get it in the right place.
Did Paul Stout own the boat that was found upside down? Why was he going to St Martin in such big seas in a small boat?
is it your business whether or not he owned the boat or why he was going where he went?? keep off the news site looking news, his children are old enough to read and comments like these do affect them.strupes
He should have thought about that before he got caught up…and you know tha boat was not his so relax. If it was someone else you would be all up in the melee too.
Praying for the safe return of Paul; good man.
I’m hoping they made it to safety somewhere…His mom is a friend and ex-coworker I’ve know Paul since he was a high school student. Helen, please be strong now! Hope for the best, but be ready for the worst…that’s all one can really do
Once your boat found out there, that’s it for he.
Do you speak english??
Check D.R them man wanted that boat and they jack him out to sea hurry up cause they might be well done sell the boat by now and only the lord knows where mr. stoutt is in all that water
Mr Stout had nothing to do with the boat other than possibly being on board. Manuel was the person in charge of the boat. He had the keys. So how can you say “the D.R. man wanted the boat?” What was Mrs Stout doing on the boat?
I am very sorry if anything bad happened to any of these men. I send my prayers to their families.
to carry on you have a serious problem i agree with sweet p if u ainte have nothing with sense to say shut the hell up. and i hope to returns home safe.
now it home you singing a different song?
what ever carryon u all need to shut up if u dont have any thing good to say
shit
So it’s three men missing then.
Hope he return safe and asap
He probably getting money must be Illuminati…talking to the Holy Ghost in his catamaran.
Three man missing and that is what you have to say?
Pitty.
SOUNDS AND LOOK FISHY TO ME……….THESE YOUNG MEN ALWAYS IN SOME ILLEGAL ACTIVITY……WHEN AINT BVI WATERS IT ST MARTIN WATERS
