I am glad your alright. You'ed of been one of those mystery at sea story's. The snickers would of washed out and no one would of known what happened.
I go out by my self 90% of the time. Iv'e been out 12 miles off dana before looking for tuna a few years ago. When you go out by your self even the smallest mishap can end your life. The best you can do is be prepared for most misadventures. Just know when its your time to go, Death has more ways of taking you then we have ways of preventing it.
I had my splash pants get knock down around my ankles, then wrap around my legs while in the surf. I just took my vest off, in 10 inches of water. Next thing I know i am under water and my legs are tied. Another time I was baiting some rock cod hooks, I had a big heavy jig on the end. As I am putting bait on the last hook a mako hit the jig that was just barely dangling in the water. I shudder when I think about what would of happened if one of those 6/0 hooks had went in me.
Again glad your ok. We have to be prepared, but we can't live in fear.
