Early this morning, my wife and I were sleeping aboard Just Ducky when we were awakened by a loud noise. After first thinking that the A/C was failing horribly or a pump or something else broke, I realized that we were hearing helicopters. I looked outside and sure enough there was a helicopter hovering over the end of the river (less than 2 miles from the marina.) They were searching the area for a long time, then left. This morning I saw more local and state police boats in the area than I have in years. Also, a local police officer and state police officers were in the marina checking the boats.
Later found out that some idiot ran over another boat on the river, killing one person and seriously injuring the others.
When my wife and I arrived home, I found the below listed articles on the 'net. Making things worse. the man who was killed and his wife live in town. We know them, especially Bonnie, who served on the town council and serves on the planning board.
If anyone in the area knows of a boat that recently was damaged, please call the State Police at (732) 899-5051. The operator killed someone!
Best regards,
Frank C
