Kudos USCG Station Depoe Bay

Sea Jypzee · 06-30-2007, 07:57 PM

I just want to offer up my thanks and Kudos to the men and women at USCG Station Depoe Bay for your assist today. 4.5 miles from the hole on the way back in, I ran over a crab pot line, and wrapped up in my screws. :frown:

:blush:

I was basically stuck and going nowhere....could not reach safely to get the line untwisted...so got onto the Radio for our dear friends with the USCG. They sent out a motor lifeboat and transferred one crewman over to my boat who with some good skillful work managed to untwist the line from my screw and allowed me to get back underway on my own power.

To those of you with our local Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay, I say thank you. I'll bring ya a couple of TUNA loins tomorrow as thanks as well. :grin:

Nancy, glad your new boat is none the worse for wear. Might want to check those shafts and seals...

They are an amazing group and my hat is always off to them. Without them I would never step another foot in the ocean.

Sorry to hear Nancy, hopefully there isn't too much damage.

Hopefully you got alot of fish.

Last year I ran into a loose piece of rope debris, and it destroyed a prop. Had to hang out over my OB faced down to cut it off with my fillet knife.

Had to limp home to Depot Bay, got a spare on and I was good for the reast of the day.

Iced cold bucket of fish.

You just have to love the pots all around that south red bouy, forced us to the left of it and I hear that isn't good.

Herd something going on in the Mayhem, glad it all worked out and the radio gear performed like I knew it would
