Former boatswain's mates can occasionally embellish when telling a sea story. Seems to me Justin is telling a fairy tale, though...there is a difference.
Yes, I too, question this claim. The CGC Tamaroa was the cutter that rescued the crew NYANG helicopter that ditched. Justin, are you saying that the Diligence was out on the Grand Banks searching for the longliner Andrea Gail?
I mean...I was in New Jersey at a lifeboat station...and I worked with the same NYANG crew in joint operations at a different time. I guess that means I have a connection, too?
Doesn't pass the sniff test
