Did you ever have a feeling of acceptance like August?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nope. I wasn't dying that day.

Good read....August, Butch

You kind of lost me when you started out by referring to yourself in the 3rd person in the subject line.

The rest was just TLDR.

btw - you should put "me" and "I" a little more in your website. http://www.augusthunicke.com/

Gnarl experience to call a mayday on a sinking boat Butch. Makes for a salty past.
I heard maydays going out in the winter of 89, crab season. Boat called the "Vestfjord" but no one could save them. Not us, not their sister ship, not the coast guard. Conditions were too extreme. The maydays just stopped. It was hard to hear the maydays and hard to hear the silence afterward.

Thanks Reg. I was reminded to some degree of this humbling anchor experience when I read the Intervention vs luck piece you wrote a while back.

Nope. I wasn't dying that day.

Ha ha, love that!

Good stories both, made my morning.

Until I'm dead, I will never accept my demise.

You may want to look up the poem "Invictus"

Some great reading in this thread!

Gnarl experience to call a mayday on a sinking boat Butch.

The worst part was I had to go down into the compartment to find a radio. It felt odd throwing the mic down instead of hanging it up!

 

[August Hunicke]

hahaha, awesome observation!

 

[pantheraba]

Going DOWN into a sinking boat has to be tough...a few moments of quick thought and clarity there, I am sure.

Frig the microphone!!! Glad you pulled it off.

 

[Stumper]

Good stories about horrible situations.

 

[Burnham]

A great read, August. Thanks.

Don't be this guy.

It took me about 4 minutes to read it.

 

[Burnham]

Yeah, agreed.

Don't be such a nitpicker, Nate ...you didn't enjoy, fine...no need to be whiney .

Great story & interesting reading from both August & Butch. Must put life into perspective FAST

 

[August Hunicke]

Another succinct summary.

 

[cory]

I love the sea as much as I love the forests and the mountains. Each so lovely, and so potentially dangerous in their own unique way. Life is rich.

 

[cory]

I recounted it today to the guys at work, they both dug it. One laughed and said ah trying to get it going with the captain's daughter.

 

[August Hunicke]

Actually… That's another story.

 

[cory]

Yup. He sniffs out stuff like that in a milli second.

 

[squisher]

Quite the stories. The luck of being alive instead of dead.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I like that last part. Had today gone a tiny bit differently, people would be dead.

Thankfully everyone is okay. Apparently God really does look out for drunks and fools.

 

[squisher]

I sure hope so!
