jason Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 http://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/778/331427/ BOSTON — A Station Point Allerton, Mass. 41-foot utility boat rescued a man who fell off a kayak near Natasket Beach in Hull, Mass., Sunday, 6:15 a.m. A concerned friend called the station at 3:30 a.m. reporting his buddy took a kayak out at 11:30 p.m. Saturday but did not return. .... .... .... Winds were 20-knots, seas 2-to-4 feet, and the water was 59 degrees Fahrenheit. The man was not wearing a life jacket and was very cold and shivering when he was rescued. He was treated for hypothermia by the boat crew while he was transported to shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 hmm...what could possibly influence the man's mind to voluntarily head out into the ocean without a life jacket at 11:30PM? http://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/778/331427/ BOSTON — A Station Point Allerton, Mass. 41-foot utility boat rescued a man who fell off a kayak near Natasket Beach in Hull, Mass., Sunday, 6:15 a.m. A concerned friend called the station at 3:30 a.m. reporting his buddy took a kayak out at 11:30 p.m. Saturday but did not return. .... .... ....

When crossing a harbor I still make a mental note of moored boats with water line platforms as I pass them. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
