Fisherman rescued twice at sam

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A Western Australian fisherman found himself of the bottom of a very familiar cliff after his vessel capsized and he and his companions were forced ashore. The professional fisherman was showing his mate and his dog where he got stranded 14 years ago and then history repeated itself.

...

DAVID WEBER: How did he come to find himself in that place again and being rescued again?

(Police Sergeant) ROB TAYLOR: I'd say it was a significant lack of respect for the sea.

DAVID WEBER: What does that mean?

ROB TAYLOR: I'd say he's a risk taker and he's come unstuck twice.

Needs a rewrite with more details. Links to stories are nice, but it needs more details to gain reader interest.
