I have not heard of any boating mishaps.

If that's the case somehow we all got through it ok.

Maybe 10 days ago, a Jet-Ski off Parker's Island, Wolfeboro Neck, had a one-boat event.

In jumping a big wake, the operator did a "stuff" into the lake. His face hit the handlebars and was knocked unconscious. His passenger held his face above water.

Another Jet-Ski responded to the passenger's calls for help and assisted in loading the bloodied operator into a third responding boat.

According to my source (a neighbor) there's actually a name for this kind of Jet-Ski crash injury: it's called a "Scorpion".
