I have been thinking about this incident all week and feel the same in that if nothing we should all learn something from the loss of these girls. A true tradegy. I was in Harwich on Sunday and in the morning it poured buckets of rain with very gusty Northeast winds and it was very dense fog all day. At the time they launched the winds had subsided a great deal and it was not raining but still very dense fog. I was over at Long Pond in Harwich and even there you could not see across to the other side at that time. Had the winds been westerly they probably would have bumped into Monomoy but then it probably would not have been that foggy with westerly winds. Given the current popularity of Kayaks this will probably not be the last incident we hear about but hopefully more will dawn life jackets as a result.
