I just can't forget the few that didn't.

My friend & mentor, who I worked with on charter fishing boats, Capt Dave Willoughby got blown 50' before he hit the water. He survived, boat burned to the waterline. He was on this boat assisting. I will never forget that blast. No gas allowed. Dingy tank remains topside.
