Swimming was the cousin's account. Could be he swiped a dingy. Edgartown is a summer resort. Usually people in these places don't leave dingies unsecured. Even if they did, wouldn't they at least secure the oars? The channel between Chappaquiddick and Edgartown is like 100 yards wide, even during changing tides not much current (unlike Pocha Pond), no challenge, really.
The landlubber's knot is a nice touch, though. I would be surprised that someone who grew up knowing how to handle boats didn't know how to tie a proper knot. Sounds more like a Yorker to me.

That is interesting. The oars point too.
Huh.
