Old fishermen never die (They just smell that way)

Oh my goodness, I have multiple boats calling me on the radio, help has finally arrived. My wife has called everyone, I love that woman
!!!

 

Sounds like you should be getting closer to being back at the dock. Keep on going…you’ve got this! Prayers for you…

 

in your avatar, are you the one on the left by the kid with the orange balloon? Lovely family!

 

Awesome! We hope this horrible ordeal is coming to an end!

 

@buckeyebadger you are an amazing person. You gave no idea what you did for me. If you find yourself in distress anywhere in the world, you but need to reach out to me and I promise someone will come to your aid.

 

Yes and thank you , I have been blessed more than I deserve with an amazing wife and kids and my grandbabies.

 

@westexrancher Keep us posted on what happens. I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

@JaDubya you have helped me thru this too, the same goes for you, if I can ever be of assistance please call on me.

 

Theres a boat 5 miles away with a relief captain and deckhand to help get me to my bunk. Thank you everyone I couldn't make it without yall!!

 

My friend the world revolves around kindness and I am glad I was able to help you out in any way. We’re so happy you are going home to your family!

 

Awesome. You’ll be in good hands soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

 

Get to shore and get started on recovering from your injuries! So glad you thought to post here to help keep your mind going…I know it helps to “talk” to folks!

 

Thank you! I'm at the dock, off the boat and waiting on an Ambulance.

 

I just want to say that you are a tough and courageous man of the sea. I once deep sea fished with a man for 7 years on his boat. I enjoyed the sea but I finally decided to stop fishing one day.

I apologized to this man and told him I've lost interest and admire him for his love of the sea. He smiled and said he understands. "We are a special breed" he added.

Yes, you and others like you are very much indeed.

So glad that you are safe and on the mend.

 

That was one hell of a trip report @westexrancher You are amazing! May your injuries heal fast so you get back to doing all the things you love to do.

 

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hoping you get back to your ranch soon!

 

Update on Clint.
I'm his wife Diana. He is out of surgery and resting now. He has multiple fractures in his pelvic bone and a broken wrist. They have repaired his pelvic bones and will do another surgery later this week to fix his wrist.
The Dr said that his injury is very severe and his recovery will be long and painful. His boat days are over for at least a year. Clint was born with a Gypsy spirit and our life together has been a never ending series of adventures. We will make it through this Adventure together.
I want to say THANK YOU to all those that helped Talk him in.

 

Thank you for the update. I was hoping the injuries would end up being less severe, but I will be praying for a complete recovery and that his spirit helps him through the rough time. Good luck to you and your family!

 

Wow! What a terrifying experience for you …..and your wife. So happy to hear that you made it to shore and are in good hands. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery!

 

we do offshore fishing often, we never go out alone and my brother being the boat mechanic, hes on every trip...years back one of the guys that goes with us, they free dive and spearfish. he was on someone else boat and ended up getting the benz. I wish I could find the video, the boat was speeding back to shore while radioing for help. the coast guard plucked him off the speeding boat like it was sitting still...
