Since the conditions were so bad, boats could not be sent in to rescue the man. Instead, the Coast Guard said aircrews decided to lower a rescue swimmer and have the man on board jump into the water. The boat capsized right as the man on the boat entered the water. According to the Coast Guard, the on-scene conditions were "20-foot seas and extremely high windspeeds."
The US Coast Guard rescued a man as the ship he was on capsized on Friday.

My vote would be for Vancouver Island. There are many parts of it that often don’t have much snow for most of the winter.
And the liberal insanity runs strong there.
I think Manitoba is Canada’s Florida.
They were going to let him go until the dead fish thing. There are people starving in Astoria!
Victoria. According to a quick search he had gone missing. Well, here he is.

The mouth of the Columbia River is extremely dangerous. Apparently it is called the Graveyard of the Pacific and it is known as one of the most dangerous bar crossings in the world.
I was on a giant Chevron oil tanker going to and from Portland, OR, and even with our size, going in and out of the Columbia River had to be carefully navigated.
What is a “Goonies” house?
The home from the kids adventure film “Goonies”. Delightful film.
No, Newfies would be closer to West Virginia or eastern Kentucky.
I have two as students right now.
