NEWS FROM THE CRAB GROUNDS
The 2008 KING CRAB SEASON has pretty much come to an end.According to Dutch Harbor news the price of King Crab hit $ 5.00 bucks a lb compared to last yrs $4.19 alb .Out of the 77 boats that started 66 of the boats have finished up the 2008 King Crab season.Now a few of the fleets boats will take off until opie season 2009 and the 5th season of the deadliest catch which will start airing in April 2009.A few of the boats like the Northwestern will Cod fish until the opie season starts in Jan 09.
A NEW BOAT JOINS THE DEADLIEST CATCH FLEET
A new boat is joining the fleet this year it is the boat where 21yr old JOSH WHITE had fallen overboard while chaining down pots in high seas. Capt John Hilstrand had his eye on Josh since he was so close to the water.Capt John said he could touch the water thats how high the waves were and how close Josh was to the water.THEN!! Josh was gone well Capt John rescued Josh and now the boat that Josh was on is joining the fleet this season.It is the 133 ft TRAILBLAZER .The TRAILBLAZER is Captained by Capt Wayne Baker,Capt Wayne runs a 6 man crew let hop that Josh will keep his feet flat on the deck or more than that watch out when chaining down pots and use a little more common sense because Capt john won't be watch to see him fall into the water. Capt John said he finally made up for the one he had lost before. I can imagine the whole crew of the Time Bandit felt pretty good.
CAPT PHIL RETURNS TO THE WHEELHOUSE OF THE CM
Capt Phil has been consulting with his Drs but from all news he has returned to the wheelhouse of the CM.That is where he belongs not watching from the sidelines.Relief Capt Murray Gamerath did an awesome job taking over for Capt Phil when he needed it.I think that showed a great amount to take over and we know Capt Phil worried a little bit but Murray kept telling him not to worry about nothing but Capt Phil had more to worry about than fillin the tanks.As a cancer survivor and unable to get around due to my back blood clots really scares me but i can't worry about it when i have other problems to worry about.We can just keep Capt phil in our prayers while he is out there and we all know he will take all the precautions while out there and listening to his drs or we will all kick his A$$.
FRIDAY JANUARY 9,2009
The year has started off to a bad note with another crab fisherman being claimed by the frigid Bering sea 43 Yr old KEITH CRINER was pulled overboard when he got tangled up in a crab pot line and was pulled down with the pot . This is ONE of the most feared things that a crewmember faces while out on the deck of a crab boat even the camera men that film the show can get caught up.Criner a Veteren of the 98 ft Seabrooke was fishing about 22 miles Northwest of Cold Bay Alaska. The Seabrooke is owned by ANGEL PACIFIC FISHERIES out of Milton Freewater Oregon. The Coast Gaurd conducted a extensive search for CRINER along with other fishing boats that was in the area but they could not find him my heart and prayers go out to the CRINER FAMILY.
