The weather outside is frightful

Brutal is a good word for what's happening, weather-wise, in Kodiak right now.
Sub-zero temps and high winds seem to be the norm.  Lost two boats the other day.  One grounding and a roll-over.  Had it not been for the Coast Guard, 11 people could have been lost.  The margin of error when trying to make a living on the water is pretty skinny to begin with.  But try it in the winter, in these kind of conditions and, well, there isn't one. Any small failure or anomaly can and will kill you, or try it's best to do so.  This is the grounded boat as she sits in Jute Bay on the Mainland.  It happens pretty fast. without much warning, and usually in the middle of the night.  When the doodoo hit the fan, these people had to do everything exactly right and so did the CG or it would have been a far different result.  Man, that is a scary picture!
