Dead In The Water
I just heard from the call in program that a Bajan boat with three fishermen was rescued after being adrift for three days. I saw from a National Geographic’s show years ago how arduous it can be to be lost at sea, dead in the water, at the mercy of the tide. I saw how sometimes you have no tide to even pull you in a direction which hopefully would lead you to shore. The last three days would have been very difficult. I hope to read or hear more of this time they spent before God sent help.

Dead In The Water Drifting now for three days
since Emergency calls went as far as
Port-au-Prince And no answer to came to reassure Didn’t know if anyone heard us
but we needed to endure It was long since my last
drink Nights came and I never got a
wink There was constant lookout for
a rescue team Hope someone passing might see
our beacon beam Even though Big Mac was old,
he’d always brought us back When we travelled distant
waters or went off-track And then we heard a motor
headed our way Trini coast guard came to save
the day Efficiently filled us with
water and food and recharged our battery Rescued us from those three
days we were Dead at Sea |
