Listening to CG SAR this morning...

Gotta agree with Bo here Likwid,,, constructive comments delivered with a little diplomacy and sugar make the world and water a better place. If you searched past threads on things like first aid you might recall that there are more than a few here with offshore miles under their belts. And chit still happens... to wit, while delivering a Frers 41 from Marion to Marblehead last week, I found a rock. Stopped 8 tons DEAD. Where you ask? 2 1/2 from the turn of a foul current, north side, 3 boat lengths off the wall, in the middle of the CANAL! Rattled my cage for a bit.....

I was moored in menemsha harbor when the boat came in. The CG guys were waiting for it at the dock - 4 guys with clip boards went over that boat from stem to stern. I hadn't heard the VHF chatter - but had heard the scuttlebutt around the docks. I was surprised by the look of the boat. It looked like a large commercial lobster boat - but it was rigged up with rods and reels.
