The photo of the woman kayaking on Wilson Pond to retrieve her son’s toy plane should not have been included in the paper (Dec. 27, B3). This boater was a tragedy waiting to happen. Kayaking without a life jacket, in very cold water, while toting a roof rake equals totally unsafe. Had she gone into the water rescuers would have been put at risk to help her. Unsafe behavior should not be publicized.
