EverEnough's disasterous fishing trip

[Offshore Madness]

I listened to the weather last night and again this morning.Called for 1-2. Launched at 8:30ish went around the hook with the plan to run out to the sh reef and was greated with 4- 6 foot swells with caps every 3-4 seconds{yes i counted}..The weather man was wayyy off....The boat came completely out of the water a few times(this time it was not on purpose)

Slowly we made are way out to the #8 bouy instead...Threw the anchor over and it hooked first try! As the swells got bigger we decided to run back towards the beach.

 This is where all the disasters started.While i was pulling the hook a huge swell came from nowhere i did sea it one wave away  but couldnt do nothing about it but hold on.The swell crashed over the stern sending water every where. Continued to pull the hook and another swell came and yanked the rope out of my hands and at that point!! Screaming back pain which made me drop to the deck with tears in my eyes.I couldnt stand,sit,any thing.. all the while were in a nasty sea and now the winds blowin   15mph

  After spending 5 minutes on the deck in severe pain i managed to get to the Capt.'s seat and start what would become the most painful experiance i ever had.  While driving back to port..Every and all of my experiance's was needed to get it safely back to port.The swells were to close to go over them yet they were right on our tail,Evey wave made my back Scream like never b4.Around the tip of the hook it got worse swells every where and every which way.

 Had a few wave's go completely over our boat.At this point i have taken 4 excedrine's and have a bag of ice on my spine...This is one trip i actually wish id stayed home.....

 However i pushed the boat and her crew to the max today(not on purpose)tho. And i have a new found respect for not only my crew {THANKS Michy for beening there perfectly today} but also my boat and the sea.

Man, this is a great reminder of how things can go bad in a real hurry.  Hope you get better fast, let me know if you need help with anything.  Did you end up getting the anchor up or just cut it?  My biggest worry out there (besides the obvious) is being alone and my back or neck suddenly decides to give out on me.

Tuff trip for sure. NOAA is rarely correct in their forcast lately. I don't know how these people keep their jobs.

Glad to hear that it worked out for you and you made it back safely although a little sore.

WOW, and I thought I had a tough day at work.  Glad every one made it back safely. I am sure we have all been in situations like yours today.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you think your back hurts now, wait until you wake up tomorrow. I moved an AC unit some years ago and had to get cortisone shots to help with the inflammation.  At this point I dont think Excedrin is going to help that much. You need some pills for the inflammation and also a muscle relaxer. It really sucked when this happened as I could not even wipe my ass. I do hope I am wrong on how you will feel tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon.
