just spoke to the mate ( my former mate ) who saved the one guy....said he jumped on the boat and grabbed him as he was huddled on the one remaining part of the boat which was dry in the stern.....he then went to the wheelhouse to look for the second crew member and it was 3/4 filled with water...banged on the window...screamed and shouted...nothing...but he knew the boat was going to roll over in a death roll soon so he made his way back to his boat and soon after she rolled and sunk...
the fact of the matter is, other than coal mining it is the most dangerous work out there.....when I think of all the close calls I have had, I count my blessings......and am very glad I am now just a fair weather commercial fisherman
