Lost at Sea

I bet some of you have hear of the loss of life of 5 guys when a fishing boat was lost a few days ago.

It is very sad for such a small village to have such a loss. The vessel has been found but no bodies .

Heckerpead: You started us in the middle of the story. When did she go down? Where was she out of? How long did they search?

I read a story today about many years ago a ship smashed up just off the Maine coast and her crew ended up on a barren island in December. Most of them lived - though suffered hard.
Also saw the news call the Bounty (that just sunk) a "sailboat". To me, that's like calling a 30-30 a "gun".

OK, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still laughing over here at Franks 'Heckerpead' comment... LOL!

Sorry Don, I don't mean to 'make light' about a truly sad story. That is horrible news!

I pray that I may live to fish

Until my dying day.

And when it comes to my last cast,

I then most humbly pray:

When in the Lord’s great landing net

And peacefully asleep

That in His mercy I be judged

Big enough to keep.
