Thank you for coming over, Steve. I am happy to meet you.

I grew up on the Oregon coast and I knew many fishermen - most were trawlers there, like you. I think that is one reason I identify with the crabbers on the show, they remind me of people I knew and seeing the boats in the harbor brings back memories.

I am so jealous that you met Capt Phil and Jonathan. They are cool guys! I remember the episode where the Hillstrand brothers took their boat over by where they buried their dad and saluted him. That was so touching! I also love how Jonathan and Andy switch off captain duties, but I forget which one does king crab and which one does opies.
