I remember doing a trip up north with Charlie and lost the propeller on the Beatrice. I think it might of been sam on the storm boy that came to our aid. Fond memories with Charlie Good luck with your new adventures.
Yes! The Eastern Star 53 foot steel forward wheelhouse formally owned by Peter Warner, was my first ever fishing trip into my career 1983, the other crew member you mention when she rolled setting anchor on the west coast was Greg Halliday very nice bloke indeed R.I.P. Greg and other the two fishermen, all three were never recovered/found.
Well done Ol mate thanks for the insight to your wonderful life on the water ✌️I wished I had chosen that life I love the ocean and fortunately have never been seasick 👍👌
The work is hard, and the loss of mates harder. The sea calls you home again because her hold is strong, stronger than your family stronger than your sense. Ocean waves, and tidal pools, rocky inlets and tides, whoa betide the boat crew who don't keep up their respect, the sea will call you home and hold you to her chest. But even though you know the danger, your heart must have it's say. Back on the water the beauty is rich and free, the colours of the rainbows that are the seas it's where my belongs. By CJ McCorry
I used to fish Cray and crabs off the west coast, had many a port hole window smashed out, waves snapping you off your anchor rope. A big adrenalin rush😎👍
We don't think about the fisherman or the sacrifice they've given for us to eat. These men are dying, staying away from their wives (which might be a bonus haha) , missing so much of their kids lives and achievements. All we see is what is behind the glass display cabinet. Next time you're buying seafood take a moment to appreciate to the sacrifice it took to get in front of you. I'm an ethical hunter and only hunt what I eat. After a kill I'll sit beside it and thank it for its life, for the sustenance it will provide me and my family. You appreciate it much more when you hunt something yourself and not only do you owe it to yourself to eat as much you can from it but you also feel compelled to for the sacrifice the animal has given.
I have been there and worked the west and south coast. It's not about genders or otherwise. It's about being able to do the work and have the fortitude to get out there and have a go. One of the best experiences in my life. Made me mentally stronger coming out of a dark place.
Wow great story!
Our unsung heroes what a life what memories

He'd be a multi millionaire with a few ton of crayfish quota. Good on him. Hard life
Good luck on your next venture.

Extremely Dangerous, I hope the boats are better today.
Only for the brave, .....
I wonder how many trans cray fishermen there is ?
I suppose retirement may have been motivated by the Chinese pulling out of lobster/crayfish exports.
Yeh poor bastards are only getting $60.00 a kilo instead of $90.00
TASSIE where men are MEN
What about trans men?

@@Sanjbvc they just don’t know or have any idea, let alone being 50 degrees south in 80+ knots and 15 meter seas!
enjoy retirement Capt
Gutsy stuff.
