Memorial Day Weekend -- Fatality?

Saturday and Sunday were two cold and very windy days, followed by a cool, but sunny and calm Holiday Monday.

The calm didn't prevent some excitement on Monday, though.

Right before our eyes, a speeding red and white ocean-offshore hit a wake produced by an ocean-cruiser and was launched to near-vertical position -- and started to revolve in mid-air. It landed more-or-less OK, and immediately slowed. The offshores were everywhere on Saturday and Sunday too. They've multiplied like locusts.

So far, there's only the loss of my dock's battery charger,

which was swamped by a wake while on the dock. (The lake's higher now than at ice-out. Maybe too late for a headway-only speed).

No fatality after all -- "possible fatality" reported on Boston radio station. Drunk arrested -- likely Pitchwood Island event previously reported.
