Nearly swept away
While working at sea can be a refreshing change of pace, it’s not always as peaceful as you might hope. There are thousands of stories of fishermen getting swept away at sea and of entire boats sinking to the bottom of the ocean. When a rogue wave collides against the side of your vessel, you better pray that it doesn’t swallow you up.
This picture doesn’t do justice to the direness of the situation. One of the boat’s crewmembers had slipped and was about to fall right into the raging sea. Thankfully, one of his companions held grabbed hold of his vest and could maintain his grip for long enough to pull that man to safety.
