Teen jumps to stop runaway boat on Lake Winnipesaukee

Teen stops runaway boat in Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee!
So here's the back story! How the capt fell out:
He's one of the instructors for the kids sailing school (Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association).
They set out tennis balls for the students as a training aid.
The capt/instructor was leaning over the gunnel to grab a tennis ball. At that instant, one of the students tipped his tiny sailboat, and the boom struck the throttle lever, throttling up, and throwing the capt/instructor overboard!
Goes to show you, things can happen when you least expect it!
Brady Procon, a teenager (17) came over via SeaDoo and jumped onto the runaway boat and was able to safely stop the runaway boat to save the day! A happy ending to what could have been a tragic day!

That other boat just does not care that they might get hit any moment.

Was this the same kid who paid off a stranger' Walmart layaway? God bless him.

I'm not sure about this claim. I haven't heard this story.
