Coast Gueard looking for two fisherman from Mistress; PJ, Off Block
 

A 45 ft coastguard vessel had to turn around ? That is pathetic.

This was intriguing. The conditions were rough between PJ and Block, big winds, 10+ seas, but were they Coast Guard rough? Or did the boat have a mechanical?

A 47 was dispatched from Montauk, so I am assuming it was a decision of who could get there quicker given direction of attack into given sea conditions. It would have been on the nose coming out of PJ.


I had coffee yesterday with a kid who I have mentored through some tough times trying to find his way. Same age as my kids. Had some significant surgeries to repair injured body parts from commercial fishing. Just returned from four months on Bering Sea fishing longline cod. They got hit by a rogue wave broadside in a 140' steel former crabbing boat. Unbelievable amount of damage. Three weeks in town to repair. I will post pics when he sends them.

Son rescued, Father and nephew still missing. Terrible

Not to get all political but the fact we ask these men and women to risk their lives to do their job when they don’t even know if they’re getting paid this month is something congress needs to fix.

I heard that two bodies have been recovered.
