The water is nice but you've got to respect the water.

Yeah, it can be the calmest and the sweetest place you want to be and it can be the worst place that you could be, but all you got to do is obey, follow the thing.

Because if the siren, the warning coming, well it going to be threat coming in. Wind about 25, 30 miles a hour. So, small craft warning. So you should go in harbor. But some people don't obey and a lot of time they don't make it back. And I've been in some.

I worked with a fellow from St. Helena, Harold Fields and boss man call him and tell, he said “wind pick up and y'all going in.” So he said, “wind pick up. We had a lot of shrimp on that drag.” I said “what?” I said, “man, see we going.”

“I'm not going in all the shrimp out here man. And the slick calm.”

We put that back over and start dragging. It got so rough, so quick. All the shrimp we catch that we put on there that we dump out the net. Every bit of it washed overboard. We didn't get to save none of it. And that been about, I guess by then it was something about 130, 11 o'clock and we didn't get to the hill until a little before dark the next day couldn't run fast. Bail maker is so rough when I get to the hill out there, I know what I was going to do.No, I wasn't going back with him no more.

So, I got my stuff said man, “no judge, I quit. I quit.”
