Irony is a bitch










Driver in boat crash heads boating group


GILFORD, N.H. -- Authorities are investigating a boating crash on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee that left one person dead and two others injured during the weekend.

The Marine Patrol bureau says the crash killed 34-year-old Stephanie Beaudoin of Meredith. She was a passenger in a 37-foot powerboat boat that struck the shore of Diamond Island in Gilford around 2:30 Sunday morning.

The boat's driver, 34-year-old Erica Blizzard of Laconia, suffered serious facial injuries. She is president of the New Hampshire Recreational Boaters Association and has testified in the Legislature against implementing a boating speed limit on the lake. Her father owns the Lakeport Landing Marina in Laconia.

A second passenger, 34-year-old Nicole Shineopules of Burlington, Massachusetts, also was injured.


So a women fighting to keep speed limits on boats dies in boat crash. For someone to die in a boat crash I would imagine that the boat would be going pretty fast. This is like my friend in high school who head of the local MADD, and always drove drunk.
