While filming along the back shore late this afternoon, it was very surprising to see this fishing boat appear through the tremendous crashing waves and churning sea. Saying prayers for safe return and wishing they didn’t have to fish on a day like today.
TURN BACK!

Watching fishing boats leave the harbor on freezing cold winter days has always hurt my heart a little. A day like today is even worse. God speed to them! I second your hope that they return quickly and safely!

That is absolutely nuts. I would not have wished them a safe journey. I would have called the coast guard
