I'll still watch that show anyways. I might actually see them pass spots that I go diving on.

"Glouster"??? Is that anywhere near "Gloucester", Stogey??

A link to beautiful Gloucester, Massachusetts...

Anyone watch last night?? Poor Cap'n Phil

Watched on DVR last night. Poor Phil is right! I hope he is ok.

I was tired of the editors showing the same couple of scenes over and over again, though.

Tell me what happened........

Condensed version (16 hours passed I believe). In the rough seas Phil somehow got knocked into some sort of table. He thought he broke some ribs. Then he starts coughing up blood! It continues to get worse until everyone has him convinced that he punctured a lung. So, he ends up cutting their trip short and goes to the hospital. It seems as though it may be a little worse than a punctured lung. They are leading us to believe that it may be cancer.

I sure hope not.

I had the pleasure of knowing & working with the fathers, uncles, older brothers,ect. of many of the guys on the show in the mid 70s & early 80s.
I lost some very good friends to the Bering Sea & have some really great memories of them & those still living.
It truely was a modern day gold rush with crewmen making $100,000 + per season. Not per year but per season.
Some would pool their money, charter a jet & fly to Hawaii or Mexico during the closures. ( a week or ten days )
These boats hold 250,000-350,000 lbs of crab. The quotas back then were in the hundreds of millions of pounds instead of 15-20 million like today, & they were allowed to catch all they could. There were no individual boat quotas, the seasons lasted 2-3 months & you slept on your feet.
The 80s brought an absolute bust to the crab populations (both king & tanner) & the joke in Seattle, where many of these boats were financed, was they'd give a free bering sea crab boat with every new account opened.
The tuff survived & the guys you see every week are the decendants of those men.
The Great American spirit lives on .

Good show Tuesday.
Hope Phil is on the mend. Wow was he lucky!

I actually felt sorry for Moi. I was glad he got rid of him though. What a whiner he was.
