shipwreck

I was shipwrecked on Noman's Island, in the book the perfect storm pg.164. I wrote to Sword's the show and everyone else, nobody seem's to care. Would like anyone to answer,I've seen other fishermen shipwrecked on "After the catch" and was hoping I could be on the show to tell my story. I started on scallop boat's out of New Bedford and eventualy swordboat's.Fished for most all companies on the show. 20th anniversary of the wreck and don't know why nobody will answer. Hell I didn't even know I was in the book until 2 yrs. ago. Somebody has to hear my story or what was the experience worth? Started as a young kid from Chicago and pounded the pavement for a month in New Bedford,homeless,broke and out of place but suceeded. Wouldn't mind fishing again and have stayed in great shape in the hopes I CAN TASTE THE SALT AGAIN. Atleast contact me if just to let a fellow fisherman know he's been acknowleged. I don't drink and can be anywher,anytime whenever I'm needed. Telling my story for year's here in Chicago and alway's was dismissed as a story teller.

"How could you not have cried! All that real, raw, emotion going on. I cant imagine what they, and all those on sea, have to deal with when tragedy like that strikes. Heartwrenching to say the least."

I
think they try to keep focused on their fishing and not think about it too much because it could easily be them. They seemed a little uncomfortable talking about it on Tues. show

Hi everyone,

I saw this story on a tv news scroll and did an internet search. Here's the link to the story:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008300505_missingvessel23m.html

This is yet another testimony to the dangers of our guys' profession. Let's keep them all in our thoughts and prayers!

Pat

"Thank you for your kind words. These guys are brave - every single one of them - and the hardest working men I have EVER seen. I am so proud to be able to call these guys my friends and family. I love my life here and wouldn't change a thing, and I feel safe saying I speak for most of the wives/girlfriends of fisherman that I know. I hope that when my son grows up he will fish as well just like his great-grandpa, grandpa, dad, uncles, cousins, friends ......................"

That is tremendous to keep this in the blood of each generation, and keep the tradition going.
This is just about the last trade on earth where father teaches sons & sons teach their sons, & on & on.............That in itself is so very special. I'm proud to know you..................sajsam♥♥♥♥

I looked on CNN and searched the boat accident and on one of the links it said that most of the crew was FROM the Northwest not the Northwestern. It did list the captain as beeing Henry Blake and he was found and o.k. Search for the remaining two crew members was to resume at day break today when members are found or search is called off and all families notified they will post a list of names for the crew members. They also stated that most were from Washington and some were from Oregan and Alaska.

AP has posted the story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27326811/

here's a snippet:

"Coast Guard rescuers pulled the survivors from a life raft about 15 hours after the distress call. They were rescued in 43-degree water near the Amchitka Pass, which links the Bering Sea to the Pacific Ocean about 1,400 miles southwest of Anchorage. The crew's survival suits, physical condition and their efforts to keep one another semi-warm and awake all could have helped them endure, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read."
