Kenny Schwam
Like my brother said, Kenny was guiding a client on Eel Pond, which is just a small inlet/bay just north of Edgartown Harbor. To get to it is a walk of about a half a mile. When you arrive at the point where most people fish there is a drop off to about a 7' or 8' depth. The point of land or I should say strip of sand at half tide is only about a foot wide. The last 1/4 of a mile of the hike is in waist deep water at half tide also. You have to know the route at night, simply have to have gone out there during the day to become familiar with it. Kenny's client waded to far into the dropoff and was taking water over the top of his waders. Kenny got on the outside of his client, which placed himself in tremendous jeopardy, and pushed the client back up the sandy slope. Needless to say after doing that Kenny didn't have the strength to save himself with his waders filled up now. I have been there at night many times at many different tides. Its not the current because there really isn't one. Its just that nasty dropoff and the sandy slope. If the slope was gravel who knows things might have worked out differently.
