Thank you all for your well wishes.

Ross, I took your advice and contacted OTW. Might end up in an upcoming article on safety and awareness (or in our case, the lack thereof!).

One thing I should have added is how important my training was during this ordeal. I've been through multiple offshore survival trainings for work, and I can't stress enough how much of a difference it made. It really made me not panic- instinct just kicked in on what to do. A free course is offered in New Bedford- Check out New Directions Southcoast at New Directions Southcoast :: New Directions South Coast. The course is FREE. Definitely more of a commercial tilt to it, but if you spend a decent amount of time on the water it could save your life.

For those that missed the Fox broadcast, here's the link. There are two different videos- the one that plays automatically, and a different one that you can click to below it. I'll get up the GoPro footage once John has finished editing it.
