Heard three dolphins washed up by Sandy hook today ?

Yup. Must be more boat strikes. Dolphins are notorious for not being able to get out of the way

I can see it coming. 8 hours each way for our offshore tuna trips.

Double that when they make you drive up to the Ambrose and follow the shipping channel out when they make the wind farm areas off limit during construction . And we can’t run straight out .

Well, we can kiss that part of the business godby. Who wants to spend 8- 10 hours to the grounds? Maybe fish for 5- 6 hours and have another 8-10 home.

So how are we expected to travel offshore? Running up to Ambrose and then out to the end and then what? 10 knots for 100 miles?

I lost a good friends son at 35 yrs old because he refused to get vaccinated due to possible fertility issues and is now DEAD. My daughters best friend is a oncology / cancer nurse who sent many families tablet goodbyes from there loved ones of all ages and many in good health and she will never be the same. Most begged for the vaccine before they went on the ventillator.

My friend in construction in NYC said he ran into warehouses of body bags at the height of it and puked everyday he went to work.

So whats your point exactly? I believe the science more than the last 6 years of government on this Covid issue. Time will tell on the whales.

That’s remarkable because we never shut down and in all the factories and reservoirs and military bases and shipyards and rail yards we worked in for 2 years, not one of the 10,000 people died. Two were hospitalized and go better. And the only person who nearly died and is now bed ridden was a healthy person who got vaccinated

Wouldn't have to worry about it if Trump was president

Says the man who predicted 200 to 300 deaths total country wide!

There will always be a spin on any issue and i am sure that's what happened in your small world. We (my company) were lucky too and worked through it without shutting down with little to no illness but what does that mean on the scale of 300 plus million AMERICANS who 1 million plus didn't fare so well?
Answer: not so much to those that lost loved ones!
