Looking out for one another is the most important. I remember even when I was seining, my own sister helped me watch for things as simple as getting my foot caught in lines and a heads up on things flying in my direction. You have to be on your toes at all times. Thank you for your acknowledgment of the accident and your wise words here. Very appreciated!

I remember this too well. I can’t say enough how we all feel the loss of so many friends we have lost… I believe with their absence. This makes us much more aware of what we have to do to keep alive and get through another season.. So I say. my tribute to the fine men/women of the sea.. we will do as you showed us.. love, be helpful, and look out for one another.. thank you Jenn. Jim.

Your words made me smile. It’s been a long time! I’ll direct Cassandra to your comment! I would love to get your info. You do so much for the industry. Since you’re on Facebook, you should join our group Commercial Fishing Families & Friends!

This entry about Cassandra and Danny touched my heart and brought back memories too, of their dreams and love.

I’m immersed in creating the second Bluefestival this fall in Seattle…. after our first event, I was asked to be on the Greenfest host committee so am bringing attention to fishing families, wild fish, coastal, watershed and ocean issues. Would love to share info sometime with you.

Best wishes, anne

It’s particulary poignent to me right now as we just erected in our home port of Point Judith RI, a memorial for our men lost at sea. My husband, father and brother to name a few, are all commercial fisherman. I too used to fish when I was younger. On the news of the event this weekend I caught sight of the name of one of my best friends that was killed at sea. Like you we were not sweethearts but the best of friends. His little brother married my sister. That’s a good thing. But isn’t it something that you never forget?!? My Scott has been gone for over 20 years now, and I still cry to see his name there on the memorial.

You have a great writing skill. Drop a line if you have anymore. Peace my sister of the sea!

Heidi

Luckily, such things do not extinguish easily, not even in the cold depths of the ocean, and across spans of time.
I am so sorry for this loss which will never leave any of you…just because it was so untimely (for lack of better wording).
I am sorry that I’ve been absent…my husband’s father died this morning after a hectic week that started on Valentine’s Day.
There’s that awful February fog again. :(
