i found out about this yesterday afternoon through a series of text messages and phone calls. I am saddened by the news. I used to lobster with the capts. brother and had some summer afternoon beers with his other brother. This is a terrible tragedy. My prayers go out to the families of both men.

"They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
Psalm 107: 23-30

Commercial fisherman and truck driver are the top two most dangerous occupations. I used to deckhand on my Dad's commercial fishing boat, I know it can get pretty scary out there. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these fishermen.

I have viewed the Discovery Channel's show "Deadliest Catch" many, many times. It showed me how horribly dangerous that commercial fishing can be. These are extremely brave men and women that do those type of jobs.

My sincere condolences to your deceased friends.
