Pilar, you're one lucky guy, After spending 8yrs in the U.S. Coast Guard, 4 of those years on the Oregon coast "North Bend/Coos Bay". If I have heard 1 story like yours I have heard a hundred. You are one of the lucky ones. Hopefully someone will read your post and learn a lesson from your mistake and maybe their life will be saved. On a lighter note, I sure miss that south Oregon coast fishing. Take care and be careful out there. wink
