I read the article in the Cape Cod Times, and it seems as though they were more victim to the fog than anything else. It can get so thick over there it scares me even though I gots the GPS. They weren't heading to Nantucket, and were just out for a ten minute paddle, got caught in the fog, the wind and currents blew them out. I spend A LOT of time on the water in those parts, and it can get mighty sketchy around there in a good sized boat let alone a kayak. In fact, we tried to get out to that area on Saturday, got a quarter mile out of the river, and everyone on board was like "let's turn this bad boy around". And this was on a 25 Grady.
I do feel horribly for the families as this is a tragedy. What is more, one of the families has already been through similar times. I do no envy them.
From the Cape Cod Times: Mary Jagoda, a Brandeis University student, is the couple's only surviving child. They lost their son, Jake, who worked for the investment banking firm Cantor Fitzgerald, in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.
