The Best of the Bay
A multi-agency search took place after a 58-year-old man drifted away from his boat. Courtesy photo provided by Master Chief Petty Officer Tim Abrams
A simple jump off the back of a boat turned tragic in Newport News last week, as a man trying to retrieve a fishing net drifted away from the boat and lost his life in the water near Buckroe Beach.
The Virginia Marine Resources Commission says the 58-year-old man, Keith Thomas Henley, was fishing aboard his boat in the Bay when he went into the water to get a dip net that had been dropped overboard. He was not wearing a life jacket, according to his friend, a passenger on the boat. The boat was anchored.
Conditions were mild at the time, with 1-3-foot seas and 10 mile-per-hour winds, according to Coast Guard Sector Virginia.
The passenger saw Henley in the water, then drifting away from his Parker cabin model boat on Thursday. The friend lost sight of him around 12:30 p.m., and tried to get the anchor up and the boat running, but struggled due to lack of familiarity with the mechanism to raise anchor or start the vessel (it had a forward and rear control). By the time the boat was underway, it was too late; Henley was no longer visible above water.
The Coast Guard deployed a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to search for the man. Multiple local emergency crews also responded. An Urgent Marine Information Broadcast to Mariners was issued for other boaters to keep a lookout.
The search continued for more than 24 hours, until the Coast Guard suspended its search at 1:40 p.m. Friday. By that point, the joint search effort had covered more than 700 square miles and a combined 80 man hours.
Along with the Coast Guard, the Hampton, Norfolk and Poquoson fire departments, Hampton Police Department, Virginia’s Marine Resources Commission and Department of Wildlife Resources and the Chambers Helo Support Command all participated in the search.
On Saturday, a charter boat crew found Henley’s body near Factory Point and Hampton Fire and Rescue recovered him.
And it’s essential for all passengers on a boat to be informed about what to do in case of an emergency, especially if the captain is incapacitated or away from the boat.
In a heartbreaking 2022 case on the Potomac River , a father and son both drowned after the boy and his sister, swimming off the boat, began to struggle in the water. The girl, 12, was saved by good Samaritans (who happened to be boating instructors). The father jumped in to save the boy, 10. The mother, who was caring for a toddler on the boat, didn’t know how to operate the boat and watched helplessly as the struggling swimmers and the boat drifted further apart. The father and son didn’t make it.
The boating instructors who saved the young girl in that case shared with Chesapeake Bay Magazine the lessons learned, including making sure a second person knows how to operate the boat.
The Virginia Marine Resources Commission agrees, and also says everyone aboard should know how to hail the Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16. Spokesman Zach Widgeon also emphasizes knowing “where your type IV throwable device is and having it readily available.” He goes on to say, “Life jackets are a must when entering the water, as it’s extremely hard to predict currents before entering.”

Chesapeake rivers like the Nanticoke have influenced humans for hundreds of years—such a long time
Less than a week into May, a beach tragedy has already struck Ocean City, Maryland.
The bodies of two children were recovered from the bay of Green Bay on Monday morning, according to the Oconto County Sheriff's Office.
A 32-year-old Little Suamico man and his two children were reported missing after they went sailing Saturday afternoon on the bay of Green Bay.
The bodies of two children were found at 11:21 a.m. Monday, one mile south of where the boat was recovered, south of Chambers Island, according to the Oconto County Sheriff's Office.
Land, water and air searches will continue into Monday night for the missing man, with additional searches resuming in the morning as necessary, according to the Door County Sheriff's Office.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard and Oconto Sheriff's Office:
Neither the Coast Guard nor the Oconto County Sheriff's Office has identified the victims.
Brown County Emergency Management identified the missing man as Bill Salnik and his two children, 3 and 5 years old.
Rashad Alexander can be contacted at [email protected].
DOOR COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) - Two children were found dead, almost two days after a boating trip turned into a widespread search of the Bay of Green Bay.
Bill Salnik, 32, and his children, who were 3 and 5 years old, are believed to have gone sailing from Oconto near the breakwater Saturday. No one had contact with Salnik since 5 o’clock Saturday evening.
Their 18-foot sailboat was found capsized south of Chambers Island at 6:22 Monday morning during a search for the missing boaters. The bodies of the children were found five hours later. Oconto County Sheriff’s Office said the bodies of the two children were recovered about one mile south of where the boat was located.
Their names are not being released at this time pending positive identification and notification of the next-of-kin. Land, water, and air searches are continuing into the evening and additional searches will resume in the morning. This remains an active investigation, the Door County Sheriff’s Office said.
The U.S. Coast Guard is using a 45-foot boat from Sturgeon Bay and a helicopter from Traverse City to search for their father.
Investigators are looking over the sailboat after it was towed to Fish Creek and pulled out of the water by multiple law enforcement agencies. They appeared to be carrying the boat’s sail separately.
They were last seen near Egg Harbor and Green Island. They were supposedly headed for Riley’s Bay before storms hit.
The Coast Guard began a search when they were reported missing Sunday afternoon after they failed to reach their destination. The person who reported them missing said calls were going straight to voicemail and the truck and trailer for the boat were found still at the boat ramp.
The Door County Dive Team and incident command have been working out of Fish Creek since Monday morning.
The Wisconsin Air National Guard is assisting, along with sheriff’s offices in Door, Oconto and Brown counties, Oconto Fire and Rescue, Gibraltar Fire, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
The search for the boat stretched from Green Bay to Ellison Bay.
Anyone with information about the family should contact the Sturgeon Bay Coast Guard station.

H AMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — Ready to do more fishing, hunting and living the good life, Keith Henley was months away from the retirement that he was living for, but was not to be.
Keith Thomas Henley, 58, of Providence Forge in New Kent County, was set to retire soon from Philip Morris in Richmond. He was on a boat last week fishing, doing something he loved, when he jumped overboard to retrieve a fishing net about a mile-and-a-half from Grandview Beach in Hampton. His body has not been found and he is presumed dead.
His wife, Dawn Henley, pulled out a photo of the “classic Keith Henley” — cigarette hanging out of his mouth, a big smile on his face, standing with his hunting buddy, David Williams, known as D.W.
“D.W. called him ‘hair on fire’ because he was always going from one thing to another … and just staying busy,” Dawn Henley said.
Another photo shows Keith Henley with a 42-point deer.
It was clear he loved to hunt.
He carved ruddy, blue-billed ducks, beautiful carvings his wife was holding.
Last August, Keith Henley bought a power boat built by Parker.
One or two days before he died, he caught his largest cobia ever — there’s a picture of that too.
It was clear he loved to fish.
Then, last Thursday, July 11 Keith Henley was fishing with a co-worker when his wife got a call from the U.S. Coast Guard.
“The person said, ‘I got some bad news [for] you,'” Dawn Henley said, recalling the conversation. “‘Your husband jumped in the water to get a net’ — I was not surprised that he jumped into the water after a net. He was impulsive. I could see that happening. I could see him doing that, then saying, ‘Oh no, what have I done.’”
His friend on the boat with him was unable to get him back into the boat, and Dawn Henley said that co-worker at Philip Morris is devastated.
“I won’t say who it is — he calls all the time [and] he feels terrible,” Dawn Henley said. “He was trying to get him a rope and he just went under. He said he saw him come up and go down. He said he had to get the anchor up. I don’t think he knew how to operate the automatic anchor. He said he was about 10 yards from him — so close.”
Dawn Henley told us her husband’s friend had been in the boat before.
“Keith expected a lot from people without giving them proper instruction,” she said. “The life jackets had been put away, and I was surprised he couldn’t tread water for five minutes. I’m wondering if he had some type of a heart attack out there. We are told he died from accidental drowning.”
In the past week, Dawn Henley has been reflecting — emotional, remembering happy times with a man she knew most of her life from high school to marriage.
Towards the end of the interview Dawn got emotional.
“You know — hold on, so I would say,” she said, then clearing her throat and putting up her head.
“What flashes in my head — he was so larger than life,” she said. “He was always going from one thing to the next, trying to live life to the fullest. Now, I’m left with thinking of Keith out in the water, afraid.”
Keith and Dawn Henley were high school sweethearts.
“He was a little too old for me, so we broke up and married other people,” she said.
About 30 years later, he saw a notice of her parents’ 50-year anniversary.
“I was listed with no spouse,” she said. “So he reached out to me. He sent me a card and said, ‘Hey, if you ever want to talk about the last 30 years, give me a call.”
That call would eventually end in marriage on May 18, 2019.
“He was a nature boy,” she said. “I called him Natty Bumppo from James Fenimore Cooper’s Leather Stocking Tales. He could never get it right. He would call himself Daddy Beachamp. I said, ‘No, it’s Natty Bumppo.”
She always thought her husband had a real talent for carving, and she wished he had continued to pursue it.
“He had a lot of potential there,” she said. “In fact, we were going to enter his ducks in a competition in White Stone and then COVID hit, and they canceled the competition.”
She remembers him this way.
“Everything he did consumed him,” she said. “If he was fishing, that was his life. If he was carving, that was his life. He’s making moonshine?
“That’s his life, you know.”
There will be a memorial service for Keith Henley at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 21 at the Poquoson Yacht Club, 417 Messick Road.

In 1785, General Lafayette named this town after Le Havre, France, due to its striking similarity to their French seaport. It lives up to its name, "Harbor of Grace," with its pivotal role in America's continued fight for independence during the Revolutionary War.
Its desirable position between the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay made it a destination for fishermen and seamen. With significant exports of crabs and oysters, this port gave the area an economic boom for over two centuries.
Stroll on the promenade, and you will end up at the Friends-Concord Point Lighthouse. Built in 1827, it is the second oldest in Maryland. Regarded as the heart of Havre De Grace, it was fully operational until its decommission in the 1970s. Still open for public tours, it offers some of the most stunning views on the Chesapeake.

It is best known as the spot where General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington in 1781, essentially ending the Revolutionary War. Yorktown is one of the three sites of the historic triangle of the colonial settlements.
With a rich history, this hamlet offers many opportunities to walk in the footsteps of our founding fathers. Yorktown Battlefield is the site of Washington's 1781 victory over British Forces.
Close to both Jamestown and Williamsburg , Yorktown offers access to their busier counterparts but with the luxury of returning to a more chilled vibe.
Stroll into the town center to Grace Episcopal Church, built in 1697; it counts two of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence in its congregation.
The scenic Riverwalk blends history and the contemporary with quaint shopping and dining.
Pennsylvanian assemblyman William Lawrence Scott founded Cape Charles, which is on the National Historic Registry. One of the first planned communities, it was designated as a railway stop between Philadelphia and Norfolk.
The Ferry system that came a few years later only cemented it as a strong connection between the north and south industrial growth. With roots in fishing, Cape Charles was one of the largest exporters of oysters and clams on the East Coast.
The original Cape Charles Lighthouse, built in 1828, was the first lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. It no longer exists; however, the current lighthouse, built in 1895, offers daily tours.
Cape Charles Coastal Habitat Natural Preserve spans 50 acres. This small but vital site maintains the beaches and surrounding marshes. Public access is limited to the boardwalk but offers stunning sunset views.
