RE: [Paddlewise] Whale capsizes canoe in Mass.

Sad situation.  Warm day -- rescuers in short sleeves -- but serioiusly cold water.  Where have we heard that scenario before?  Other anecdotal information from other media -- apparently no PFDs involved: local rule that PFDs not necessary after 15 April: boaters had purchased beer earlier in the morning.  Lots of data -- not a lot of information.  This wasn't more than a "pretty-good-storm" and it still cost one life.
