Sure seems like a lot of people falling in water lately.

Watched the helicopter search last night until about 2AM. Don't notice any search at the moment. Can see the entire north portion of the Assawoman Bay from the porch. Any further news on the boater?

Common element in the deaths that have been reported throughout the region this summer is that the victims weren't wearing life jackets.
