Manasquan NJ Friday Nigt
Posted: May 26th, '09, 21:32
We came in late Friday evening with the boxes full of bass (legal limit of course). The trip was great the kids were happy and we found this:
1 dead 2 critical in an apparent gross miss application of boating fun.
We were only hours into the Memorial Day weekend when something went horribly wrong and one boater died and 2 were critically injured in Manasquan River.
It appears that a 15 foot boat lost control and crashed into a 30' boat. The boat then ran in circles amongst the cries of those still in the water. After agonizing minutes a center console with an unknown driver and crewmember ran onto the seen and one member jumped into the renegade boat to kill the engine. While other boats picked up survivors they realized that one person had not been accounted for.
Unfortunately that person died of severe head trauma with subsuquent drowing (reports say) and was accounted for later that evening.
Happy F*cking Memorial Day
Morale of the story:
Make sure your sh*t is tight don't drink, and amongst all SPEED KILLS
