Great job Patrick......Had my wife a little worried last night but was glad to hear from you this morning.... Good thing I invested in that life raft before I let David spend anymore of my money on something like fancy underwater lights !!!!!!

I'll be down Tuesday night

Glad to see/here that everyone made it back to the hard. I'm also glad that waterman share a kinship and willingness to do what it takes to save their fellow mariners. Great job Marli!!!

From what I understand the Always Late has been towed to Cape May by a salvage company. It will be interesting to see what the cause of this accident was. We were there for the entire incident and I must say that everyone on the Always Late acted professionaly and handled a very difficult situation in a very calm manor. There was never any sense of panic. The marli did a great job with the removal of the passangers and crew. We are very sorry for Larrys loss but we are glad to see that nobody was injured or worse.

I was there today when the salvage boat began working. Withing a couple of hours the deckhouse was already above water.

Glad everyone made it out safe.

Not so glad that somewhere along the line my boat got confused with the Always Late- my cellphone has many people calling to make sure we were ok- and since I was out fishing it went straight to voicemail..... and my charter for tomorrow was very relieved to see us, since some random guy they gave a jumpstart to in OC today spied their Last Call Sweatshirt, and told them we sunk!!!

Gotta love the rumor mill.

It was probably Capt. Fire Hydrant trying to pick up a charter

We saw the boat being raised on Sunday. Salon and gunnels were above water when we went by. We had heard the chatter on the radio all night about her going down. My wife did the initial freak out as well until she heard the vessels name on the news.

Thank God everyone got off safe and there were enough boats in the immediate area to get everyone off safely. Big round of appaulse for the Captain's and crews in the area that lended a hand.

SOOOO glad that everyone was OK. As a police offcier its always nice to know that some one has your back when your in need and fishing is the same. Time and time again I hear of other mariners helping out when someone is in need. Way to go Press Time, Mari, and others.

Very relieved you guys are safe! One big family saving our own! Stay strong boys!

Capt Tom

ps...Always Late Crew, you can use my boat if you need to! LOL!

Im glad everyone is OK. I have to ask a dumb question tho as this doesnt happen every day (thank God), how to they raise a sunken boat? Crane? Air bladders?

Thanks and great work guys!
