The OFFC were out last night. They related to me that as they were done fishing, they saw a guy crawl off a jetty...that's right, he was crawling on his hands and knees...


I relate this not to make fun of the guy, but to say that something must have happened to him out there that caused him to take that posture when coming back...

maybe he fell in a bit...
maybe he fell down and bashed a knee, or twisted a joint or part of his back,
maybe he slipped, didn't fall, but the incident was too close for comfort, and it spooked him (self-presevation instincts come into play here)

And in fearing that he was not going to come back aliive to his family and loved ones, he humbled himself and crawled off that jetty...

In addition to that, Pebbles and I met some pretty experienced fishermen when we went to the next stop. Even so, one of them fell out there on the rocks. He quickly regained his footing, but these are the types of things that can change your life, in an instant...
