Balika, the kids, and I took the "Green Weenie" out gillnetting on a glassy calm and sunny day. After we set the net, an onshore wind came up and we bounced around for a couple of hours and picked 2 dollies out of the net. a guy in a 14 foot Lund was tending the net next to us. The skiff flipped, throwing him into the water. Dr. Withrow in the Sea-Jay was closer to him than us and he called the Coast Guard while running over to pick the guy out of the water. The next couple of hours we watched another skiff try to right the lund and pick the guy's net up. I looked at my daughter and grandaughters and thought about how fast things can go to shit on a boat and my heart raced and I realized how thankful I was that I got out of fishing before having a serious accident. We pulled the net and went home to eat dollies for dinner.
