Kids Sail In Waters Where Shark Sighting Reported
EDGARTOWN (WBZ) ― The beaches on Martha’s Vineyard are open again after two Great White shark sightings, but beach officials are going to be on high alert as hundreds of kids hit the water for a sailboat regatta.
Sheriff Martin Brody Harbormaster Charlie Blair said 300 kids will be racing on Friday as part of Edgartown Race Week. The race is not being called off, but all eyes will be on the water, searching for sharks that could be swimming around.
Today, as the busy beaches on the island reopen, Blair said people are swimming at their own risk.

Lightning Strike Leaves Through Woman’s Nose Ring
ANTRIM, N.H. (WBZ) ― A 21-year-old Antrim woman is recovering after being struck by lightning Wednesday night. The bolt hit her feet and came out through her nose ring.
Jessica Lafreniere was hit while she was walking through her family’s garage.
“She had walked into the garage to go outside to turn off the faucet. The light came in through the garage and hit her,” Jessica’s mother, Danielle Taylor told WBZ.
“It was like a red flash that came from her feet and she was thrown into my arms. She was blue and purple, and stiff as a board. When you hear it, it’s unbelievable, but it’s true.”
