Raritan Bay ... Watch out for pods of breaching whales ... apparently they don't like fireboats! Yikes!

That is crazy, nothing a person can do to prevent that.

I saw that on the news. A buddy and I were talking about that. You would think a fire boat would be pretty heavy duty. Must have hit the whale in just the right( or wrong) way to cause that boat to go under in minutes.

No whale issues here in VT ......... So, I guess I can mark VT safe from whale attacks on boats!

No, but you have that Champlain monster, Champy, lurking and waiting to get your boat ...
