My husband worked at sea for 30 years. It was not until he retired that I could bring myself to watch videos like these, for we were both all too aware of the dangers out there. What brought me great comforted each time he went to sea was knowing that these rescue teams were out there, trained and ready to go at a moments notice, if they were needed. Thank you from myself, my husband, and our kids!

I want to express my gratitude to the heroes who risk their lives for others, and to the service workers who provide support for these critical operations. You really are heroes. I also express my admiration for the fishermen and others who work at sea under difficult conditions to support their families. May God protect you.

Thank you. Blessings to you as well!

Your welcome

[@dutchhoke6555]

Thank you for this compelling story ; US Coastguard, private rescue/salvage crew and private yachtsmen heard/relayed our SOS, saved all 3 crew and the 30' pleasure craft, despite it taking water and powerless. Eternally grateful.

[@michaelemory552]

As a former US Coastguard ‘deckie’, I admire the layout of the”Abeille Bourbon”. For working towing hawsers in heavy seas that stern is well designed - open with high, clean rails to give as much safety to those at work. Beautiful boat. Good documentary and thank you.

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

We went on a class trip back in Elementary school, the thought of joining was cool, but then I learned ON THAT trip, that I can not do open waters.

[@michaelemory552]

@@thelthrythquezada8397 Great that you school arranged that field trip and I suppose good that you learned that one thing. USCG has plenty of billets on inland waters and navigation stations - all essential. I actually went to boot camp at age 26 -taking advantage just before cutoff. I’d done ‘high adventure’ work and fun before and as a free spirit I did not plan for a career in uniform. I was able to work above my pay grade at times and liked that. Open waters… no matter how calm, the first day out I was always queasy. But then got into it ; the more rough the better. Chow was good. As a Quaker, the Coast Guard appealed to me , adrenaline rush doing rescue with some real ‘I got your back’ moments. I miss that. Thanks for responding. Do well.

[@sharoncassell9358]

Every time I eat a lobster I think of how hard it was to catch it. We complain about the price but the sacrifice made by fishers that captured them on high seas is to be respected.

Kudos. Combine terrific seamanship and airmanship with bravery and dedication. Unique people who do this, often at the risk of their own lives.

[@OmmerSyssel]

There is absolutely no admirable seamanship involved in Fishermens reckless behaviour, it's the complete opposite! Why do you think this branch are so deadly dangerous? Do you head out in open sea, under extreme weather warning? Greed and reckless behaviour isn't admirable!

[@Oob144]

[@potatolew4495]

Those ocean tugs rescue boats are truly amazing vessels. The size and overall look of them is just awesome. As someone who has worked in the commercial fishing industry for over 25 years, I would love to spend some time on one of these, eagerly awaiting my first wheel watch.

[@ermining1]

I was on the abeille bourbon with Carlos as skipper during my maritime schooling, it's pretty boring. You can spend week in Brest doing nothing and weeks in Ushant waiting.

Brave Aircrews helping brave Mariners! The sight of all of the names of the fishing vessels and their Crews which have disappeared or are known to have been sunk was terrible, worse still was that there was still plenty of space for more names... I had no idea that so many vessels simply disappeared without even a Mayday broadcast. The families, the wives in particular must really hate that their loved one's go back out... My heart went out to the widowed mother whose son also became a Fisherman.

[@nickjohns1192]

I only spent a few short years fishing but have them nightmares come back of the events that nearly killed me or the crew. But like you there days when it just hits you... I'd fucking love to be out there today and you remember one of them funny day where everything was goin well.. glorious weather excellent fishing the skipper has the crew buzzing around deck and best of all gear isn't coming up in Robbins spending hours on deck mending. Best and worst job in the world

This is really impressive to me. Wonderful show! Sadly, I have been indoctrinated by the very showier drama….whatever…as shown on America’s “Deadliest Catch” show. However, as I watch this show I see how these men do their jobs and that’s it. They are fishermen and rescuers. And that means they are unlike the embarrassing hubris show-offs, earning millions of dollars, putting on theatrics and signing autographs whilst spending their dollars on exploitations that don’t benefit ANYONE ELSE except their childish luxuries. Great show! Thanks for the upload!
