Sinking

ishoot308 · Yesterday, 12:10 PM

Just heard that a Mastercraft boat with 7 people on board got swamped in the wind and went down near Locke's Island. All were rescued safely from the water...none were wearing life preservers.

Before a tow boat could make it out there, the boat completely sank...

It is also being reported that someone jumped off a boat north of Diamond to retrieve something and never surfaced. My wife can see it from the house; there are 3 boats looking just south of Diamond now. An aerial search is being mentioned, but no helicopter in sight now.

Wow. Not a good boat for a windy day like today.

Missing 18 year old, it just hit WMUR. They haven't mentioned the other incident.

No official update, but lots of posts about bringing in a body at Ames Farm.

Heartbreaking for a young kid to lose his life like that.

On the Mastercraft--I did not realize that a modern boat could sink. I thought they filled them with so much foam that the gunwales would be at the surface. I hope someone can educate me here

It's so sad. A Mastercraft with four young men went by here yesterday headed out but I was glad to see in a few minutes they returned. Glad they were smart enough to do that..
