Fans of Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch
the F/V Baranof, a 180 foot crab vessel, briefly ran aground in Dutch Harbor
It is snowing this morning here in Ketchikan. It has been back to back storms since the winter started. At this moment in time there are very few fishermen who will go out in the storms.Then National guards men, they are still digging out Cordova who had 18 feet of snow so far this winter.
The harsh weather in Alaska makes for a difficult fishing season on all the types of crab, especially when ice problems develop. Cancelled flights have backed up crew travel in to Dutch Harbor. The cold weather has meant that ice is forming rapidly, but is still a way's from St. Paul. Meanwhile, the F/V Baranof, a 180 foot crab vessel, briefly ran aground in Dutch Harbor and has to be checked out by the Coast Guard to certify there was no structural damage before she can go fishing again.
Have a great day and happy sails to you.
Captain Everett

Have a nice day. best greetings from espen "eddie" carlsen from Norway. A snow-free norway that is. Ususally there`d be about a half meter or so just outside my door but instead I still have a green lawn to watch. Im a truck driver so I dont miss it that much but its very strange this weather we have right now.
