i'm so glad that LUCK and SKILL were with you

Have some BETTER luck with the new Boat.

Incredible Story.... the most Harrowing i've ever read.

Holy crap
I'm glad you kept your head and didn't panic in that catastrophe
Lucky to be alive
I guess you jump right back on that horse, ordering a new boat.
I guess you must have had your phone in a ziploc.
glad it wasn't worse Bruce.

glad to hear you are okay. thats one hell of a story..

I was out in my boat until around midnight last night. On my way in a giant tug boat waked me pretty bad. I was all alone. kind of scary..havent been rocked liked that at night before.. thinking of getting an inflatable pfd to wear onboard and probably shore fishing when its rough. your story definetly verifies the need. also like the ankle knife idea. never thought of wearing one of those on a boat.

good luck with the watch and your future boat.

thanks for the kind words. going to bed. I removed shards of nylon anchor rode from my private parts w/ a pair of vice grips. The folks at Brewers must have thought someone was getting murdered in the bathroom.
July 2008 has been a mess. Got mugged in Prov. 14 days ago and now this mess.
Rented a 23ft Mckee Craft for the next month. Wi8ll follow safesea tomorrow at low tide to watch and film the events. Boat is 10' above high water mark. Storm surge drove it up the beach. National guard dropped off a bunch of floating gear from the beach at my former partners house. $2000.00 cash is gone from the knapsack, front pocket was ripped off.

My cell phone is still working fine. Bluetooth connects to car and all seems well. The phone is rated as water resistant. For once I have a phone that tells the truth in marketing material.

Good night and God Bless to all of you. Say a prayer for those on the water that may not be so lucky. I did not have anything to do with my safety. The God of my understanding has plans for me. I learned about my God through the good folks in AA. They saved my life and now I have a higher power that I pray to every morning and before bed.
When I leave my slip I say thank you God for letting me out on the water today and a I ask him for his protection for me and my fellow fisherman as well as my family, friends and those I don't know that have not yet found God.
