Most of the stories relate to commercial salmon fishing. In three separate Bristol Bay districts this season, one fisherman's body has been recovered, but two are still missing, including one in the Nushagak District (the one I'm fishing in now). Just last week in my district, three fishing souls were lucky to escape with their lives when their fishing vessel lost power and drifted between two processing ships and got crushed. One ship lowered its "man-boom" and saved all three, including the last to escape seconds before their vessel flipped over and sank. Prayers to the families who've lost loved ones. Every port in Bristol Bay has a memorial for those lost at sea. Thank God that I've got steadfast Guardian Angels!! We came back into port yesterday because of a small oil sheen spotted near the sunken tender. I'm glad, too, because we were also advised to keep an eye out for the missing deckhand's body, and I really didn't want to be the one to spot it. Really morbid, but bodies bloat after a few days and usually wash ashore. I enjoy watching "Deadliest Catch" on The Discovery Channel because I can appreciate just how dangerous commercial fishing is in Alaska. Sorry, nothing witty or funny to add.

People think that shipwrecks no longer occur, far from it, there are hundreds each year, very few make the news. One ship lowered its "man-boom" - lucky it wasn't mine, mine wouldn't reach the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
