Rescues, New and Old

November 25, 2008

Last month, we posted a news story about the Katmai, a long-line fishing boat, succumbing to the Bering with only a few survivors. While none of the Deadliest Catch boats were involved, the Coast Guard was there and the Deadliest Catch film crew has the footage of their daring search and rescue efforts.

Speaking of rescues, remember the Time Bandit’s gutsy save during Season 3? Josh White, a deckhand aboard the Trailblazer fell overboard to an almost certain death, before the Time Bandit spotted him. Johnathan and the rest of the Time Bandit crew may never forget the look of terror mixed with gratitude on Josh’s face after they pulled him from the Bering’s death grip.

This season, we get to hear from the other boat involved in the incident—the Trailblazer. The 133-foot house aft boat is captained by Wayne Baker. Keep checking this space for more info on the newest Deadliest Catch  boat, Capt. Wayne and his six man crew.

In the meantime, the captains and crew are back in Dutch after king crab season to spend Thanksgiving at home. After you’ve have you’ve had your fill of turkey, you can fill up on crab and watch the Deadliest Catch Marathon the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 28.

Enjoy!

Good, I like to see the other side of the story of what happen on board the Trailblazer. Also, we have the name that is behind the nickname "Worm". In fact I wanted to see this board back in season 4.

Hello, nice blog!
I find it by chance.
Greetings from here from the other side of the world – Azores, as you can see here in Candilhes. Sorry to be in Portuguese but we are working to translate to English. But you can still see some of the photos.

Yes, the only boat I know for sure that is back home is NW.

I found this from Psalm 107:

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in
great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount
up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their
soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and
stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. Then
they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth
them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad
because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

I think there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that
we do not see on TV.

Hi everyone! Why do I still see rubber life raft on thse boats?? Take a few minutes and look at this egg-shape dual hull fiberglass life raft. Wow, it's made for them. It protects from hypothermia, it's self-righting, indestructible, unlimited shelf-life, they can even wait-out a storm inside the life raft without having to launch it in the water. They probably haven't heard about it... Take a look

Have a safe season guys!
