Pine Nuts with McAvoy Layne: The Indomitable Spirit Of Man
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Mon, 01/27/2020 - 3:11pmA rescue at sea is always riveting, but the 2020 New Year's Eve Rescue gave me chicken skin all over. In full disclosure I have not ventured out to sea since our honeymoon when my wife did most of the fishing and I did most of the crabbing. Unless standing on shore, anchored in sand, I have no love for the sea. To me a sea cruise is being under house arrest, but with a chance of "drownding."
