Body of Second Missing Boater Found on Beach

Ping Yau Tsang was one of four San Francisco boaters on board an 18-foot Striper that left a marina near Candlestick Park Sunday morning.

The body of a second man missing from a boat that capsized off the San Mateo County coast on Sunday was found on a local beach Tuesday afternoon, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.

A large group of family members had been searching an area of shoreline about a quarter-mile north of the Pigeon Point Light Station when they found the body of 56-year-old Ping Yau Tsang at about 4:05 p.m., San Mateo County sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt said.

Tsang was one of four San Francisco boaters on board an 18-foot Striper that left a marina near Candlestick Park at about 5:30 a.m. on Sunday.

A large wave capsized the boat about a mile off the coast at around 10:30 a.m., sending all four men into the water.

Two were wearing life vests and were able to swim to shore and report the incident. Tsang and 62-year-old Carl Deng were not wearing life vests, Rosenblatt said.

Deng's body was found Monday by a volunteer search party combing the beach north of Pigeon Point. There was no immediate word of memorial services for the two men.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
