RedactedNarrative: According to a CG report, a towing vessel struck a recreational boat, capsizing the latter.  Apparently the recreational boat operator crossed in front of the towing vessel at the time of the accident.  The operator's body was found a few days later.  The recreational operator was checking crab pots.  THe commercial operator had 10 years experience as a relief pilot. He was the only one with an unobstructed view on the tow boat while operating.  He reported seeing the recreational vessel twice earlier but didn't take any action to contact the boat about it's proximity.  He did not keep a proper lookout of it.  All subjects tested negatively for alcohol/drugs.
