Caravelle

I got to go on another boat. This time a trawler or dragger. This is the type of boat that environmentalists and bleeding hearts don't like. They literally drag the bottom of the ocean floor, killing everything and throwing whatever they want over the side. This is obviously destructive and not very nice to life, but just for arguments sake, it is a big ocean. This boat holds over 300,000 pounds of fish. The crew of 4 goes out for about 3-5 days at a time.

That's cold water down there and a big step over.

A man fridge?! A clean boat??!! This may be the cleanest fishing boat I ever see.


Engine room



Apparently a washer and dryer is a luxury.

Abby napping with her balloon...such a sweetie!

Look mama, I got seaweed!


Hangin' at da beach! Got to get out, even if it's snow flurrying.
