Deadliest Catch

Love the show. Although, I haven't been watching it much lately. Usually I'll watch it if my mother is. That show reminds me why I would never have that job.

Richard - I believe that is called a sextant.

Now, DON'T START!!!!!!!

Richard, I'm assuming that the object you're referring to is a microphone set up on the boat by the production crew, and has nothing to do with the operation of the vessel. I've been out on a bunch of fishing boats, and the show is the only place I've ever seen it. It looks suspiciously like a high efficiency mike.

Almost NO one navigates by sextant anymore, everyone uses LORAN and GPS.

A high-efficiency mic that looks like a sextant?

Or just a decoration of same, maybe.

Interesting.

My husband and I love that show! I must say... The new captain Blake may be a little bit of an arrogant little son of a gun.... but he is certainly nice on the eyes

[Vela]

Hahaha, yes he is rather easy on the eyes isn't he? They made a pretty nice haul on his last pot drop too, once he tried dropping them on his own without asking advice. Was glad to see it for them. After looking at the hauls I was surprised the Wizard was so far ahead of the Northwestern, but will see what happens by the end.

"turn left at the buoy and proceed to the sandbar"?



This is what I am talking about! The circle on the wiindow! I have seen it on all kinds of ships..
LOL, the more I look at it the more I suspect it's probably a vent!

I do own a "tent"...It's a Sears/Hillary model.

Since this isn't the Dog House, you will have to guess at the rest of the joke!
