great captain, but this was only a matter of time. like his kids said, you have a diet consisting of cigarettes, red bull, and coffee...something bad is bound to happen.

Sucks, I really liked him. I wonder if they were filming at the time? And who is going to take it over? If I had to guess it would be Murray.

his friend from a boat in seattle has taken over for now because they were mid season for the opilio crabs. guessing after the season is done one of the sons will probably take over.
