NS whitetail Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 This morning while one our way out to sea, our distress VHF channel went off. It warns all boats in an area of an emergency. A local guy ( I know him ) fell overboard. The Coast Guards and many lobster boats who fish in that area started to look for him, they never found him . It's a sad feeling when your out on the ocean and you know that there is someone missing only 10 miles away from you. My prayers go out to the Wickens family.

Alisha Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Justin (total disaster aka hubster) sent me a text early yesterday morning and I knew something had to have happened. I listened to the search plane all morning/afternoon and kept waiting and waiting to hear that they had at least found his body, but to no avail. Such terrible, terrible news. We didn't know Ward, but many of our friends did - our prayers go out to them and Ward's wife, kids and extended family. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. May you Rest in Peace, Ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
