It was actually alot of fun... I learned alot up there about hard work. I worked a solid year with no days off. Everyday we had mass shit to do.

But we also did some fucked up stuff that I was not happy about. My first week on the boat we went to Dutch Harbor and on the way there my captian told me to get rid of all the garbage. I was like, where do you want me to put it? He said "Huck that shit over board." I was like WTF, for real? So I stand there hucking 50 gallon bags of garbage right in the water. Also when they change the oil in the boat, they would drain the old shit into the water. I also participated in killing 100's of seagulls. Not my proudest moments to say the least and opened my eyes to how fucked fishing was.

Being that it will probably rain we're going to start finishing off the rest of the basement.

there is no law against throwing garbage in the ocean. . .as long as you're like 2 miles out, it's completely legit (i believe). . .lotta fucking garbage goes in the ocean. . .seagulls = teh rats with wings. . .don't beat yourself up too bad. . .the world ain't gonna miss a few seagulls. . .

Well let me put it to you like this lol... The boat was 110' long, we had a quite a few days of 50ft seas and one day of 70ft and seas were we all had our survival suits on thinking the ship was going down. We also do a thing called jogging which we each take one hour on the helm so we can each get a few hours of sleep. You jog in a strait like via GPS back and forth for an hour then wake the next guy up to take your place. I was jogging one night and it was really ruff out and when I went to turn the boat around and a wave hit the port side and almost rolled the boat over, we had so much lisp the captian flew out of his bed.

Ice was also a problem, we would spend hours and hours with sledge hammers pounding ice off the boat. To much ice and the boat gets top heavy and can flip over.

Pick and boom and crane in foul weather is also a killer. After you pull a set of strings (pots) you have to stack them on deck, try doing this in 50ft seas with some n00b on the crane. It's fuckin so dangerous, the pots weigh 1100lbs. Launching pots is also dangerous... 300 fathoms of rope and if your leg gets tangled your going with it nothing you can do. I could go on and on about how dangerous, you think of it, it happened.

Your right, there is no law... its parts per million shit.

I would get pooped on atleast 50 times aday by seagulls. The fun thing to do (and this was fucked up) was after we pull a pot you rebait it. Now take the old left over bait and dump it right where your going to launch the next pot. Seagulls LOVE bait and we could get 50-100 seagulls all in a frenzy at the side of the boat... Hit the launcher button and BOOM the pot lands right on the pile of the. Captian got pissed cause a few pots had dead seagulls in them and no crab. Yeah i'm a dick and I will most likely burn in hell for that shit lol.
