Experienced 100mph plus winds on my first saltwater fishing trip in 2009. Off shore winds between Sand Point and King Cove caught us in a place where we couldn’t get the 36’gillnetter to shore so we had to turn and go with the wind. Every time the wave would break i was sure the stern was going to come over the bow.

The clench mark from my as s is probably still visible today in that boat seat.


I retired from the Johns Manville asbestos pop tart factory in ‘59, and still never made the connection.—-Slumlord
