Boston Station Safety Officer Brian Guck had a recent experience that may be a good lesson for all of us.  Here's what happened.

One morning, a week ago I was heading down the Warren River out into Narragansett Bay when I saw a small flash of white along the shore of Rumstick Point to starboard.  I grabbed my binoculars and saw a rowing shell moving along the shore.  Except for that one flash of white the boat and its rowers were all but invisible.
