Stupid...
 
Without life jackets, 3 fisherman rescued off Marblehead
By Caitlin Castello, Globe Correspondent

Three men who went fishing without life jackets had to be rescued last night when their canoe capsized off Marblehead, authorities said.

The canoe flipped about 100 yards off Marblehead Lighthouse at about 10 p.m., according to Captain Mike Porter of the Marblehead Fire Department.

The three men -- identified as Roberto Tejada, 35, Mario Fuentes, 31, and Rogue Viera, 42 -- were in the water for 30 minutes before a fire department rescue team arrived. The men were treated for hypothermia and
taken to Salem Hospital, Porter said.

3 guys in one canoe, at night, on the ocean, with fishing gear and no life jackets ...
there are easier ways to commit suicide.

A canoe around the shores of Marblehead? What were these guys on to start with, secondly Mass regs require PFD's ON everyone in a canoe or 'yak after around the 15th of Sept ,whether on fresh or the seas. A simply stupid act.
