Thanks everyone for the kind words! It was a crazy day with a big Hi and a bigger Low within 5 hours of each other.
This trip really got my wife a bit concerened because she asked me “what if that would have been her or my daughter, how would someone reach you when you are 70 miles offshore?” I know you can’t live your life in a bubble, but we do fish offshore a lot and things will happen when you are out of touch for 24 hours or so. I wish spot would get further in technology so I can receive text as well as send.
Sorry for the rant, I guess this is just the chance we take to go after big fish!

Are you a member of Tow Boat or Sea Tow? Both of these companies have tall towers and strong transmitters. I have talked to Steve at Towboat 65 miles offshore. If we are running late, I will call him on 16, switch to 12 and he will call the misses. She can also call him and have him relay a message. Best money you can spend is to become a member with one of these services.
