A Winthrop woman is trying to track down a windsurfer whose camera was lost at sea before she found it on a local beach.
Josephine Fatta said she was walking on Yirrell Beach in Winthrop a month ago when she saw an orange Go-Pro camera in a pile of seaweed. She brought it home and found a memory card inside, but didn’t have any way to read it.
“It took me 6, 7 weeks to go to Amazon and buy the card reader, I popped it into my laptop last weekend and I was blown away,” Fatta said. “I was like, there’s footage on here!”
The video shows a windsurfer preparing his board and gliding along the waves, but Fatta said heavy waves seem to indicate a storm that swept away the camera. Now she’s trying to track him down and give it back.
“Luckily enough there was some of the footage I was able to see the gentleman’s face,” Fatta said, adding she’s posted video to Facebook as a way to spread the word.
