<p style=”text-align: left;”>Sorry, we’ve been super busy recently,and it’s been forever since I’ve checked the forum,my husband just went back to work after 2 months off to take care of his mental health,which is great,he’s recognizing it and doing something about it!!! We have so much going on,he was in the water last November,another deckhand ran it onto the beach heading into port,while him,the captain and an observer were sleeping,if you Google f/v Susan Rose it’ll come up,it happened on 11/17/2023, he’s the “fourth person that was off the boat before rescue arrived”. We’re still dealing with and reeling from that,it’s been crazy. That felt nice to finally unload all that,thanks for reading 🙂</p>

I think they are a great idea,these meetings, but sometimes they are hard to coordinate with my fisherman being home,or boat work,etc., that’s my only issue with actually participating in it.

I am also in Rhode Island, my husband is a commercial fisherman on a trawler out of Point Judith, RI

@Megan,I’m not sure, everything is always a concern. Now, most recently, is the weather, and unpredictability of finances.
