  • I worked on that boat when it was being built at C-Worthy Marine in Woodinville, WA, it had twin MAN V10 diesels and could easily run 20 knots - windows were stout shatter proof (2 inches thick?)

    It was a shallow bottom glass boat for herring seining near shore - my memory isn't the best, but I believe the draft was less than 3 feet and was like a cork in rough weather.

    It was a sister to the Nuka Point owned by Beaver Nelson out of Homer - those guys will have a story for their grand kids.

  • Just decent guys making a living

  • nuts!

  • DAMN! I would never want to be in waters like that. Cold, windy, and wet. That's the name of the game. Props to the camera man and his crew for remaining so calm. "Okay let's start picking people out of the water."

  • I never asked them, but I assume no veteran fishermen would start across an open-water run through a notoriously snotty stretch of ocean using only an auxilliary engine capable of propelling the boat at 3 knots. It's a safe bet to assume that they were almost across when their engine crapped out.

  • Did they have an engine breakdown before? 30ft waves???

  • following waves, skiff on deck, bad scene. you can see see skiff shifted on deck, game over.

  • Scary shit. I guess if there is an opening, you gotta go. Good to hear everyone made it out alright. This is why I stopped fishing on junk, not worth your life to get an extra trip in, especially running alone.

  • im glad i live in Saskatchewan Canada

  • @Kingseiner Those boats don't have outriggers for stabilizers.
