Subject: RE: BS: Four Fishermen Lost near Columbia Bar
I live in Seaview...just about two days ago I was down at the ocean and remember seeing boats so close to the shore..you almost never see boats offshore here because the water is so shallow and the currents are so strong..but you do see them in crab season...I asked someone at work why they were even closer than ever..I mean right where the waves break..and he said they were probably picking up their crab pots..and they use the boats for multiple purposes so they could crab out of a fishing boat that would not be suitable for the territory they were in. Today is a clamming day so if anything should wash ashore it would be quickly found.
Here is my new song that I have never even sung
Crab Boat Song
One by one they turn their lights on All the boats at sea There is one I set my sights on Shine your lights on me
First they flicker then they twinkle All the boats at sea The ocean turns to periwinkle Shine your light on me
Every family has a son All the boats at sea You pray he will not be the one Shine your light on me
Every family has a daughter All the boats at sea Don't let her fall into the water Shine your light on me
What will all their crabbing fetch All the boats at sea Still it is the deadly catch Shine your light on me
Shallow banks and foul weather All the boats at sea At least they're lined up all together Shine your light on me
