the one that got away

nice write up.....had me on the edge of my seat there for a moment....I figure one the most common things you might hear in the salvage business is "hey what are ya gonna do?

Yeah, the phrase "s**t happens" definitely applies here. It still bothers me that it happened because in the 19 years that I have been doing this it has never happened to me. I keep thinking maybe if the pumps were primed and ready faster or if my deckhand was a little faster pulling the line in. But then again, s**t happens. So I guess I will just consider it a good learning experience from now on.

Thanks for the story. I can see how the owner would be upset at the circumstances, and shouldn't be upset at you. It should just be an insurance issue, hopefully the owner won't be a jerk.

Thanks for the story Capt. Pete. Glad you and the crew are ok. Another good reason to have a knife handy at all times on the boat.
