Dad knew that 'we were at the mercy of the ocean'

Dad knew that 'we were at the mercy of the ocean': "Together, the 37-year-old man known as 'Big Eddie' and his son, Eddie Brown Jr., survived. They pulled an exhausted fellow crewman out of the water and onto their skiff and watched their fishing boat sink but could do nothing to save their skipper and his girlfriend, who drowned with their dog. The day began with the group traveling from Warrington, Ore., aboard the 70-foot Papa George, fishing for sardines off the Oregon and Washington coast."
