As I dashed across the Time Bandit’s deck, horizontal sea-spray filled the air. The nagging rain had stopped sometime while we slept. I noted this as I hurried to the forepeak (the storage space in the hull of the boat), with a cup of too-hot coffee spilling over and through my hand. It happened to be dark, but that did not really matter. After a six-hour run, we had arrived at our northernmost string of pots. Regardless of the actual time of day, “morning” had come to the Time Bandit.
Inside the forepeak, I quickly ran through my morning routine. I hopped up on the end of a milk crate, to be eye level with the two video decks that constantly record the fixed microphones and fixed cameras that we place out on deck. I changed the 276-minute tapes, and then labeled the shot tapes that I had ejected while the milk crate slid back and forth precariously on the greasy floor. I also readied the hand-held camera that I use on the deck, checking the battery, changing the tape and cleaning the lens. When not in use, my deck camera is tied to the wall in the forepeak. To reduce the nasty lens-fogging problem, this particular camera has to remain in the cold.
Back in the wheelhouse, I hurried through my preparations with my wheelhouse hand-held camera. It is the camera I primarily use indoors. After changing batteries, changing tape, cleaning the lens and knocking several salt crusties off the camera body, I pushed the record button and began to “roll.” I had made it this time. I had actually gotten everything going before the boys got up. Two seconds later, the Time Bandit boys began to rise. Two hours later, I was still rolling. It was then that I remembered that somewhere I had set down a cup of coffee.
Can you please tell me the name of the song that was playing on the May 1 2007 epsiode towards the end of the show. I am hooked on this show now. My boyfriend and myself make sure we tune in every week to watch. We love the Time Bandit and the Northwestern. Go Sig and Johnathan!!

My family loves the show and watches it each week. I was also wanting to find out who-what the song was playing on the May 1 2007 epsiode towards the end of the show. Good luck to all the fishermen.

I've been a fan of Deadliest Catch since about Mid-March. I looked forward to the new season, and I watch it now faithfully.
Just wanted to say please be careful out there on the Bering Sea. The sea is waves & such, but keep all of the good work up you & your crew do to help us understand the hardships the crab fisherpersons go through.
I am looking forward to this Tuesday's episode.

I love this show! There is just something about it that keeps your attention. You have done a great job producing this show. I have been a fan since Season 2 and love every episode. I'm never disappointed. My family thinks I'm crazing for watching a show about crab catching. They just don't get it...lol. It is by far my favorite show compared to any shows on ABC or Fox, etc. You know it's real, nothing someone just made up. These are real people making a living that requires hard work. They earn every penny they make. They should definitely get paid more for the job they do every day of the season. I'm a big fan of the Cornelia Marie. I loved the prank they played on Blake of the Maverick......lol. I'm really a fan of all the boats and all the guys are great. Jake Harris would have to be my favorite, and I think all the ladies know why...lol. Oh and I watched Sig and Edgar when they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live. That was cool. You could tell when Sig was saying how bad he wanted to back out there and fish that he has a lot of passion for what he does and I admire that and hope to have the same kind a passion one day. Wish you all the best and God Bless.
Sincerely,

Hey Guys. I love to watch all of you out there. You are truly what's left of our explorers, adventurers and mountain men and women of our past. Just seeing everyone out there in that freezing cold and yet you all seem to love it. I know the money is important but just the bravery and stamina it takes to do it. I've been watching since Discovery did the special on the worlds deadliest job. This it real life not hyped up pretend stories like most of our TV shows are these days. Love all you guys but especially Sig. Hope you get the highest count again this year. (Throw away the cigs though. They're just getting wet.) Kudos to you too, Mike Rowe. Love your narrations. Try to keep clean.

God bless Jonathan & the Time Bandit crew. What an awesome captain you are to keep another boat's crewman in your sights - if you'd have taken your eyes off of him, you might not have been able to rescue him. As Mike's narration proclaimed, you were able to pull something from the sea much more valuable than crab - another human being. With already losing some fishermen earlier in the season, it was awesome to bring one back home alive. I know God will bless you - hold tight to Him and He'll bring you through. You guys rank high on my list of warriors. Keep the faith, boys!
