I pulled somebody out of the rocks at Weekapaug on a night when there was a big sea on - a long time ago. That ended up being a very close call for me also.
I used to love to fish the breachways under rough conditions - there would always be fish inside, but after that I stopped going. I did not want to be put in another situation where I would have to either risk my life, or commit a sin of omission in not helping someone in distress.

Nice job Paul hope this guy realizes how lucky he was that you were there when he woke up in the morning.
