A few years ago, I came through the channel between Prudence and Patience Island. It was a dropping Moon tide with a strong SW wind. When I hit the opening on exit I almost $hit. Waves were literally standing up 4 feet. I made a hasty retreat and went around the West side of Patience.

I believe it. Out front between kettlebottom and castle hill is the same thing. I used to go wild on those rides in my Laser when I was a kid.

I was fishing the ditch down that end when it happened. Could tell it was a really bad situation. CG and Wareham police boats flying by, helicopter circling above. Was having a decent outing, but couldn't enjoy it because you knew something bad happened. Talked to my mother on the phone and she said it was all over the news.

Never should've been that many people (kids) on that boat. Trying to go east on a mid west tide. Completely avoidable IMO. That person will undoubtedly have to live with it for the rest of his life, but so will everyone else. i still think he should be charged with manslaughter or at the very least negligence or whatever the appropriate charge would be.
