[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two lives lost in pursuit of a ball. Chances are no life jackets and the Chesapeake is freezing in early April. What was the mother thinking? A completely unnecessary and avoidable tragedy. How does someone that intelligent and accomplished do something so stupid? [/quote]

I thought the same thing....why even do that for a ball? Like...go onto Amazon and order another one. What made her think yes, let’s hop in this canoe with no life jackets to grab a BALL?[/quote]

If you lived on the water, you would get this.  It's just what people do.  Most of us have small water crafts and when things fall into the water, if you can't walk out to get it, you just jump into your kayak or whatever you have.  I see people go in all the time without life jackets.  It's not legal and if you get caught by the coast guard, then you would get fined.  And in all of the years I've lived on the water, I've never seen anyone get into life threatening trouble.

Thing is, it is easy to get pulled out and storms come on quickly over the water.  There have been a number of times that my paddle went from easy to unbelievably difficult and exhausting within a few minutes.

I'm sorry for this family.  And, all I'm saying is that they probably didn't give it a second thought when going in after the ball.  It's sad.  [/quote]

All your horrid judgmental people have NO IDEA what you’re talking about. They didn’t go out kayaking. They were in a tiny calm cove at a house they weeent totally familiar with and it was a hideous accident. By all accounts they were (are) a wonderful family, beloved in their capital hill community. Of course he had to make a public statement - she’s a Kennedy and it happens at a Kennedy home.

Anyone saying nasty things here is astoundingly cruel.[/quote]
