To make a long story short, we were in contact with the CG and took the 4 people off the striken boat onto mine until the CG showed up to take control of the situation. DF2 can go into his heroics later in the thread. I'm to damn tired."

Does anyone have any additional info?
We were out deep last night and came in around 10. No action ....

Check fishalways report 1-2-07. In the swordfisfh report section. It gives you the breakdown. No word on the boat, It was still burnin when we left her. Salvage guys charging out the inlet as we came in.
