Reply to comment by NoShip7475 in Shellfish harvester drowned in Waldoboro last night by Doc_coletti

It's very sad and happens all too often. Three people harvesting clams in a 12-foot skiff in a chop is never a good idea.

I remember clamming with my dad (rip) and we never went into the water. Now I see why he wouldn't. Since then I've seen people do all sorts of things but it's supposed to be a good time.

To be clear, they weren't clamming in the skiff; they'd just been harvesting at an island and were crossing the river back to land, presumably with a load of clams as well as the 3 people.
