MikeF-NH.. Sorry your boat took a licking.
Re: the fireboat. A little difficult to assume that just because they went out on plane only to return 15 minutes later doesn't mean there was no emergency initially. A case in point happened tonight: while listening to the scanner tonight, there was a call for a water rescue, unknown problem, off Rattlesnake. Gilford FD and Alton FD boats were dispatched. About 10-15 minutes later, per the Marine Patrol, both units could go inservice. (All this occurred as a hellacious thunderstorm was passing over Alton bay. Glad they were safe. )

The channel is bad enough at the Weirs Beach end, but the Paugus Bay end into the channel is crazy.
