(“Just when I thought I had heard it all …”)

Care of a police radio channel stream of chatter over several hours came at least a trifecta.
Shortly after 9 am on Friday words were heard by Quincy Quarry News’ senior Citizen Police Scanner monitor of a missing boater report on the Quincy Police Department’s radio channel.
The wife of the boater had apparently called in on 911 to report that her husband had hit the water with his fourteen foot skiff around 7 am and that she had not heard from him since.
A Quincy Police marine unit officer responded that he would be commencing a search shortly, only to call back to dispatch roughly ten minutes latter to request back-up should a tow be needed.

The patrol officer in Car 79 then all but immediately chimed in to volunteer to go on a harbor cruise.
That and probably then stop by the Dunkies on Washington Street near the Quincy Police Department’s longtime temporary marine unit base in the Bay Pointe Marina to pick up provisions for his harbor cruise.
The two officer Quincy police boat crew on the watch notwithstanding, as of around 11:30 am, the missing boater was still missing.

Fortunately, shortly thereafter radio chatter announced that a Hull patrol boat had found the missing boater on Bumpkin island as well as that he was in perfectly good condition.
The radio chatter concurrently enough mentioned that the wife had noted that her husband went for a boat ride to a harbor island most every morning (assuming acceptable weather conditions, ed.) as well as that such would be entered in the QPD’s log for all but assuredly future reference the next time she might call 911.
Early and often, especially often …

Needless to say, one can only further reasonably assume that the boater will be continuing to hit the water daily, weather permitting, as well as hitting something else other than water.
No word, however, what happened to the Quincy Police Department patrol officer who volunteered for a harbor cruise as opposed to patrolling the ever-increasingly mean streets of Quincy in Car 79.
So, should people, adults, have to act like children and check-in every hour or so with their apparently surrogate parents, or require that their spouses are to be treated like children? The guy was out for a cruise for a couple hours, as he apparently does every day, he didn’t call her and his wife panicked? Grow up lady.
Asterisk,
You will be pleased to know that Quincy Quarry is considering the launching of a GoFundMe campaign to see this henpecked husband able to go for a two week fishing trip somewhere remote in Canada where there is no cell service.
Good idea. Maybe he’ll seek asylum.
