What a story. I am so gald you are alright. You are right that everything can be replaced. You have the correct attitude about your experience. I had a friend loose his 20ft Seacraft off Brenton Point. You never know when that big wave is coming.
I have always told people that when boat fishing the white water you need two people. One to drive the boat and the other to fish. The guy fishing must fight the urge to fish. The driver must have an eye on the waves, an eye on the rocks, an eye on the fisherman, and most importantly an eye on the get away route. That is right you have to have 4 eyes. I think you know what I mean. Looking at those 4 things all the time.
Again, glad you are safe and looking forward to your new boat. The key here is you are here to look forward to a new boat.
BE safe everyone,
Eric

Bruce,
I can't believe it!!! Thank God you made it out in one piece...certainly sounds harrowing. If you need anything PM me and let me know.
(I'm sure this goes for Mikey, too...let us know)
Talk to you soon, very very very glad that you're ok.
Good luck,
Rick

That's one hell of a story, and yes, you're lucky to be alive! I think a lot of people might not have been so prepared.

Thankfully you were prepared and are safe.
I always wear a inflatable pfd now, I hadn't thought about the ankle knife, you never know when something can happen, that was clear daylight when the swell came in.
I agree with teezer, there are places like where your friend called from, that I personally will only fish with a friend, and I normally drive my boat just be be extra sure.
This is the 3rd year in a row that on this board or another sol, that I have seen recounts of boats flipping in white water between Newport and Gooseberry. It's a challenging place to fish.
Enjoy the new boat, Donnie, always puts together excellent rigs.
