Speaking of beaching the boat...I thought I read a year or so ago that Kerry came ashore twice in the same area. He did it one of those times, so that a cameraman could catch it on film.
I admit, I might be mistaken, but this is how I remember it....
Kerry made sure to have filmed documentation of his being a hero, like Kennedy.
I can't find a reference to that article (Which was similar to the Boston Post article in that it discussed Kerry's checkered background).
Does anyone know where that article is?
He does have film of that time .. the Boston Globe reported on it
But I don't remember reading that he beached his boat twice
