Woods Harbour fisherman Sandy Stoddard speaks with reporters outside of the Woods Harbour Community Centre in Woods Harbour on Feb. 23. (DEVAAN INGRAHAM / The Canadian Press)
Abstract:
Presents the story of Sandy Stoddard, captain of the Logan & Morgan, who spoke about a miracle at sea two weeks ago, when two young men who were tossed overboard after a violent rogue wave slammed into their boat were returned from almost certain death.
Extract:
“We were off Canso … probably 75 miles,” Stoddard said. “We were hauling our gear when it happened. A huge wave came out of nowhere.”
“In 40-some years … I’ve never seen nothing like that,” 56-year-old Stoddard said with a note of disbelief in his voice.
“It just came out of nowhere and just picked us right up and threw us down. And when it threw us down, it threw two men overboard.”
“We’re facing, for some reason, way more rogue waves today than we ever faced before. I don’t remember ’em being like this.”
