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
