What they were thinking

Matt Feehan, 18, of Lexington (originally New Zealand), in the Charles River, June 22, 2007, on a Community Boating Laser sailboat:

“I was thinking how amazing the wind was. And I was ticked off about being sent in early [because of safety rules during thunderstorms]. I wanted to stay out there. It’s not often you get wind like that on the Charles River. I was trying to plane the Laser to go faster and I got carried away. It was so much fun. But I guess I was showing off a little too much and I went in once or twice. I know the song, ‘Love That Dirty Water,’ and I can tell you it’s pretty slimy and pretty dirty. But the water temperature was perfect.”
