The wind picked up to at least 30-35 from the North and made for horrible seas. We could barely see in front of the boat but knew at that point our best option was to keep the bow in the waves and moving forward. We were worried about you guys all evening and kept saying that we hope ya'll hunkered down and made it safely. Glad to hear everyone made it safely!

There was no rain on the radar when we left the camp that day. It was a 45 minute boat ride and took us 1 hour to catch all of our snapper and by that time it was too late to get back in before the storm had built up and moved our way. ALWAYS RESPECT THE WEATHER OUT THERE!
Yall shoulda come by the camp. If yall are down there next year, definitely hook up with us. The more buddy boats everybody knows out there, the better.

Had there not been the issue with the line in the prop I really think we would have made it in NO PROBLEM. So I put on a life jacket and had to pull the prop while floating in the water. It took about 30-45 minutes to pull the prop dig out all the line and remount the prop. By then the storm was in full swing. We headed north toward Caminada Pass, and only made it about 6 miles when I saw the Supply vessel. I made the decision to ask permission to board the supply boat to ensure the personal safety of the crew above all else. Boats can be replaced. So once the Capt. gave us permission, we boarded the boat, and rode out the storm through the night. In the morning, we woke up, retrieved the boat and came on in. Thanks for the prayers sent. We were scared as hell, but everybody stayed calm and did what it took to stay safe in some pretty crazy circumstances.

Sounds to me as though you made the right call.........kudos to you.
lot's of guys are just too stubborn to make the call you did.....smart move

Were you able to tie it up to a structure or did you have to leave it floating?
