The (usually) not-so-thrilling adventures of a Safe/Sea Rescue Boat Captain.

Caught Towing on Google Maps

Pete Andrews - Wednesday, August 04, 2010

Captain Andy Casey was surfing around Google Earth the other day, and noticed a bright white wake off the west side of Conanicut Island. As he zoomed closer and closer, it became apparent that it wasn't just any boat's wake, but the wake of the Safe/Sea Newport towing a member toward Wickford. I was driving on that job, on May 1, 2010. Now we know the last time Google refreshed their pictures of the bay. Here's the map below. It's amazing the detail those satellites can see!
