Thanks for sharing ! In my neck of the woods, if it gets rough, I can just turn around, and head into the large cove, where it is calmer.
Where you are, it can throw you a curve, dealing with that "inlet style" opening. I`ve trailered my boat there a few times, and see it do a complete flip minutes later.
I hear you on wanting to get out. We all done it. It`s just inlets/ breachways, whatever they`re called, don`t play by the rules on the weather radio.

Man, glad you and the pooch made it !

Most people that have been around the water long enough have at least one horror story to tell... if.. they live long enough to tell it...

Errors in judgements when at sea usualy lead to problems, it wasnt your time, I had a simular incedent myself over 30 years ago... when it was all over and I was back on the dock, wet cold and cleansed to the sole, even in my youth I realized at that point that no fish was worth dieing for, and I had cheated death by mere feet... glad that you and your four legged friend are home safe, I suspect it may be difficult to get hom back on board...

Telling accounts near disasters like your are important... there's a good chance that some day it may save a life....

Incredible story. Just goes to show how quickly things can go wrong.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
