The swell was big, and predicted.... I was actually texting with Saltyric Saturday morning about emergency activity off Marblehead Neck, as I had been notified by my wife during her morning walk. A local recreational lobsterman with many years experience was looking for some lost gear when he got washed out of his 17' Whaler by a wave.... He was in an area I never would have put my boat into, even on a calm day. He swam a very short distance to the beach, which is mostly rock and small boulders, without injury, and proceeded to watch his boat get bounced in the waves on the reef until it was washed ashore. Bottom ripped out. Floats, but has been totaled. He was lucky, and admits his mistake. Said he should have known better.
JohnR, same beach I took you to one night, and said no way, not tonight....
