Karen & Mike...we met in Dutch. I was one of the Coast Guard guys showing you around. The pics and the story were great. Glad to see that you and everyone else on the EXITO made it back okay. Sounds like you are ready to become full share crew now. Now that you have been out there, you can see why the USCG pushes so hard on the safety issues within this fleet. I think that the interactions between the USCG & this fleet should be the focus of another story.

Take care,

Chris Woodley

Crab fishing has always been my interest. But I just don't know how to go about getting on a fishing vessel. I know it's dangerous but I'm always up to a challenge with safety ALWAYS a priority. I am keen of my surroundings and work best when under stress. Any takers?

Karen:

Your pictures are great. I have framed your picture of Wanda and it hangs in the family room where you visited.

Best regards

Karen,
Wow, what a discovery, this site.
I am one of the Discovery Camera guys that you wrote of. Our trip was so fabulous.
I was aboard the 104' "Sea Star", one of the smallest boats in the fleet. I ended up breaking a rib or two and getting so bruised on my palms that it was difficult and painful to continue to hang-on sometimes.
Bigger waves and colder temps are headed our way again. As I write this I have just completed building a multi-camera waterproof system for the Sea Star. I am flying back to Dutch for Opelio Crab Season, headed toward Russia this time. We will be at sea three times as long this time. You were right, cameras were rolling on the Raven, We also interviewed crew members.
Our three hour project will be among the very best that I have ever worked on. Wanna See it?
Keep an eye on Discovery Channel for Airdates beginning in Mar? You can also check at origprod.com Our executive producer Thom Beers' site. Bottom line. Crab fishing the Bering Sea is amazing and fabulous. People are always saying "man, those fisherman guys never get to sleep". I don't understand it. Even after they had worked an extremely long shift and finally found their bunks, I stayed awake.
Who could sleep! I was in the middle of the Bering Sea for crying out loud. Even at rest my heart still pounded. I would look out upon the now empty deck of the boat and marvel that a truely lawless environment still exist. If this deck was a heaving factory on the mainland nobody would be allowed to work there, probably would not even be allowed near the thing. Ah, yes folks the wild, wild west still exists.

I'll check in when I return in Feb.
