The brother of a man who died in the Kaipara boating accident at the weekend says he would have been on the boat if he hadn't missed a call.
But Walter Marsters says he knew the bar was treacherous after a near miss a couple of years ago when a wave crashed over the back of the boat as it was making the crossing.
