Boat Sinks 7/29/2010
Surprised there are no posts about this. Just came across it in the Union Leader.
Did this person really have 12 people in a 21 foot Malibu? http://www.unionleader.com/article.a...2-b081108daa25 A dozen people made it to safety when their boat sank in Lake Winnipesaukee after a wave swamped it. According to New Hampshire Marine Patrol, the incident happened as Sandra M. Bertha, 43, of Encinitas, Calif., was operating a 21-foot Malibu ski boat at 5 mph at 5:25 p.m. Thursday on the northeast side of Rattlesnake Island. Rough waves of two-to-three feet, along with a strong north wind, sent a wave crashing over the bow and flooded the vessel. Bertha and her 11 passengers all made it safely to Rattlesnake Island. No one was injured. Everyone was later taken to a Tuftonboro residence by Goodhue and Hawkins Marine which will be recovering the vessel along with Dive Winnipesaukee. Alcohol was not a contributing factor in the incident, according to an initial on-scene investigation by marine patrol.
