Deadliest Catch

[snickerd3]

its amazing the differences in paychecks on the different boats...some only got $21k (Cornelia Marie) while others were getting closer to $73k(time bandit) for the season. Even though they are @sshats I'd rather work there than on the CM for the huge difference in pay for the same work.

I do wonder about that. I think the Time Bandit's costs are lower then most boats by virtue of the Hilstrands owning the boat themselves, so they can afford to spread the wealth around a little more to the crew.

^that was my thought too.

Anybody? I watched; I'll be back next week.

 

[Flyer_PE]

I'll watch it on the DVR in the morning.

Pretty good episode. I wish they'd said what happened to the Cornelia Marie. They just said the Harris boys were working elsewhere. Was the boat sold?

Edit: Just looked on the website and the CM is in dry dock for repairs.

 

[snickerd3]

only caught about 5 minutes of it...really just saw who was going where...blue vs red king crab.

I fell asleep toward the end of it.

I read elsewhere the CM was not going king crab fishing this season because the boat was getting an overhaul.

It was mentioned that they boys couldnt afford to take it fishing (bait, fuel, food, etc).

I haven't watched the episode yet but I could resist opening this thread and opening VT's link to the Cornelia Marie blog. The next story down has a link to a website where you can track ships including the ones in deadliest catch. Since crab season is over most of them seem to be in port somewhere right now, but the website is still pretty fun to navigate. I looked up a few cruise ships, took a look to see what was going on in the english channel, the suez canal and in the persian gulf. It's a pretty fun way to kill a few free moments, at least I thought it was.

^ That's a sweet link.

 

[envirotex]

That's pretty cool...I wish I had been able to give that link to my kids while I was working in AK a few years ago.

 

[mudpuppy]

Wow, that is pretty cool. Might be handy for when I visit home, keeping track of the frieghter traffic on the St. Clair River.

I havent watched the last 2 seasons, it got a little boring but watched some the other day of the new season, with people on different boats it made it worth watching..... may have to get into this show again, there sure as shit isnt anything else on to watch..

 

[roadwreck]

...there sure as shit isnt anything else on to watch..

I know what you mean. Things just aren't the same since they cancelled Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ why watch the show when you're already living it?

not that there's anything wrong with it...

 

[Chucktown PE]

Thanks for that
