    Last year I was in Buzzards Bay and I heard a disstress call someone made for a sea turttle caught on a marker buoy near Woods Hole. It seemed to turn into a big deal on the VHF.

    That is cool!

    Lots of interesting animals in the water up north this year. Quite a few BIG shark sightings and a few caught off the coast of Rhode/Block Island as well. Check out this article.
