I live quite close to Pawtuckaway State Park. If they were canoeing near the beach, they were not in any danger of being run down by a legally operated boat at speed. The whole beach area is strewn with islands (it's extremely pretty), swim lines and no wake zones.
Not the best picture but the beach is easy to spot.
I'd be willing to bet the police would have just helped the people ashore and left, 30 years ago. Now they'd be sued if they did that and those folks later drowned.
