Lobsterman makes unsual catch in Boston Harbor: Another boat
By adamg - 6/10/11 - 2:37 pm
Boston Police report a lobsterman helped rescue some boaters swamped by the onslaught of yesterday afternoon's driving thunderstorm.
According to police, waves whipped up by the storm capsized the boat around 5:45 p.m. at the Reserve Channel by the Conley Terminal, as it was on its way to India Wharf. The lobsterman, not identified by police, took on the soaked mariners while a Boston Police harbor-unit boat pulled the sodden boat to the nearest dock.

I saw a police boat . . .
. . . travel at speeds I have never seen before in the harbor right during the middle of the storm. It must have covered half a mile in under a minute. I didn't even think they went that fast. I assumed some sail boat was in trouble or something like that.
