Unfortunately,...people continue to under-estimate the power of the ocean + weather. My guess is that due to the short ride from Swansea to Fall River...this family felt that they could quickly make the ride from point A to point B before things got too nasty. It's normally a short and quick ride...but if anyone's familiar with the route they would have had to take, you will agree that as soon as they left the grove in Swansea...and turned North onto the Taunton River....they should have turned back. One person remains missing, the boy is ok...but the father is still in tough shape.
As the season kicks off, let's try to remember to be as safe as possible to be able to return to the beautiful ocean again..and again.
What a tragedy
