NH fishermen make lucky rescue of crew of sinking boat off Gloucester, MA
SEAFOODNEWS.COM [WCVB] - October 28, 2014 -
New Castle, N.H. —Two New Hampshire fishermen and reality TV stars saved fellow fishermen in a sinking boat last Sunday.
Captain Tyler McLaughlin, star of National Geographic’s “Wicked Tuna,” says he was fishing four miles off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, last weekend.
Over the roar of 10-foot sea swells and 35 knots of wind, he heard a distress call calling out for his boat "Pin Wheel". His first mate, Stephen Field, also heard the desperate call.
Both of the rescued fishermen are now at home recovering. The crew of the Miss Sambuca was also featured on "Wicked Tuna" in the first season.
McLaughlin says he is done with the fishing season and is in no hurry to return to deep-sea water. However, he will be out on the waters again in January to film the next season of his show.
