Docked in Newport

Suited up an ready for battle.
 
Quite the adventure on this day.  Only 4 crabs but a great story.  While pulling pots we became entangled with 4 other pots.  Finally had to drop them in 38' of water due to the weight, needed a new plan.  Problem was even with 50' of rope, the bouys sunk below the surface, never to be seen again.  $700 worth of gear overboard.
 
We went back the next day at low tide and were able to recover all the gear, but it was a sleepless night.  Just another adventure.
