This site sure has gotten silent and somber ever since this disaster. Seems as if most of us whether occasional visitors to the site or regulars have been affected. The silence has been deafening. Even for me, AKA goneback and Minnesota Ken. The vibe here seems to be gone, at least temporarily. I have some unfinished business in TB this September and will be returning then. My question is, are all the fishermen like independant contractors? Do they have any type of spokesman? Are any decisions done on a boat by boat basis? I am asking because I want to see what i can do to help, but who do you help first? Seems there should be a better way than just giving stuff to your favorite fisherman. Some of them are very quiet and soft spoken, and hardly any tourist knows about them. While others seem to be more popular amungst guests, giving boat tours etc. With this site being down for so long, and this disaster, it sure has been a bad month.

hello please see the group wall and look at my post donating to the fishermens campaign,you can donate and help this way ,the details will be posted later today.
