I have always been a big fan of getting out in heavy seas (within reason) but those seas that they have to work in are without a doubt way beyond reason IMHO. I have to hand it to anyone that does that type of work o r knowingly go out as captain and knowing up front the potential for having to deal with that weather and seas to be really top noptch in their field. I may have made an attempt at it if I wsa 40 years younger, but I prefer to watch it from my comfortable recliner in the dry and warm house without need of spilling my Budweisers.
