NAHANT, Mass. (WHDH) - The Coast Guard found a person in the waters off Nahant after responding to reports of a boater who may have been in the water.

A State Police helicopter spotted the person in the water about a half mile offshore.

Firefighters tell 7News that a running boat ran ashore with fresh fish on board but no one was in the boat.

Crews were out in the water checking to see if someone went overboard.

The victim has been taken to the hospital and is on advanced life support.

Wow, that sucks.
My uncle is one of the harbor masters in Nahant

No word yet, but I am fearful that I know who it is.... Looks like the boat of a local comm I often see out on market days. And he would have been right there, on that school of fish that I have been hearing about.....

sometimes weight gets distributed unevenly and you take a misstep
in the direction that the weight is unevenly distributed and it continues
or adds to your momentum of going over the side.

sadly, sometimes you also get smacked in the head as a result
on the corner of the boat and hit the water semi unconscious

Sorry to hear this....

Thanks Buzz. Not who I thought it was, but T&Ps to this man's family.

ditto.
Please remember.....everything can change in a split second

Vietnamese guy. My wife knows the family. No details yet.

30 bucks at job lot. Inflatable west marine Pfd. It's like wearing nothing at all. I got my balls busted for bringing it on the boat last weekend. Anyone with a boat should do them fukjinhg selfs a favor. Experience means nothing. Look what happened to james in the river. He had more experience on the water than most of us. For the cheap money it's a must. Be safe guys!

I have had one for years. Use it mostly fishing fast moving shore locations.
