Locals are jumping in to help Luke Sack, a local crabber, whose boat was damaged while trying to help another boat that got into trouble in Shelter Cove yesterday.

The organizer, Lisa Machi Pleger wrote,

“On Saturday January 21st Luke set out to retrieve his crab when he noticed a sport boat in distress, Luke did what an hero would do and came to their rescue only to end up in trouble himself. His boat washed ashore and was severely damaged. Many of his electronics are ruined, along with his motors and the vessel itself. This is Luke’s livelihood, this boat is everything to him. He is currently now unable to finish setting his pots or retrieve his crab. I can’t think of anyone more deserving, let’s help Luke get back out on the water!”

Just an hour ago, a GoFundMe for $3000 began. Already more than half of that has been pitched in the pot. If you would like to help, click here.

Will some kind soul help Luke gather his crab pots while his boat is being repaired?
