Yes, that’s the boat launch.
**The road ends in a remote boat landing about a mile away from the main parking area for the park. There is a sign near the ramp saying the pavement ends, but it is partially obscured by branches. There are no homes or businesses in the area, and none of the fishing boats were occupied, Smith said.**
“It’s pitch black — dark as a pocket and there’d be nobody there at that time of night and in that weather,” Smith said.
I happen to use public boat launches every day...up and down the New England coast, putting in kayaks. FWIW, I’m such a worry-wart about safety, like my car rolling into the drink, I park up against a curbing to unload, if there is one, just in case.
This is such a strange, weird occurrence. Heaven rest their souls.
Seems as if it really was predestined and they didn’t escape the second time...how many people escape near death more than twice in a day? Still very sad and I am sorry for my earlier attitude.
