1) Was it A L C O H O L that claimed those brothers? 
2) If they could, what would those brothers advise us today about keeping the thrills of excess speed "in the family"?

1. Since the bodies of the Malia brothers were never found , alcohol factor is in question.
2.Speed was excessive for conditions. They came out of a relatively calm inlet into a very rough ocean. They had more money and courage than experience and sense. Frankly they had no business operating anything more than a 20' Bayliner with v6 power.
Their autobody shop is still 2 miles from my house but under a different name.
Didn't know them personally but have heard a lot of local scuttlebutt that never gets to the newspapers.
