Lt. Dan, that's right I could not hear the boat in trouble. I picked up the call when the choppers eta was 20 mins away...all I said it to my son was "that guy is way out there with a big tuna gaff in his face, jezzz, talk about a problem" The CG base station must have a kick ass radio or be on ssb because the chopper was asking to relay info back and forth. Last I hear he was transported to Cape Cod Hospital.
(THIS is one of those times when you call the CG for help)
I don't know exactly how the hell one gets a gaff in the face but i guess it it possible. I would be po'ed at the guy holding the gaff when it happened.
