Hey Bruce,

My brother spent alot of time out of Dutch harbor on the Sherman
WHEC-720.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKK5gerz9OA they would head that way
every crab season. We are both pretty good at measuring waves.

Lots of hammering ice, and lousy weather..You know there are better
places to sail right?

We all know the only wave Nilbur ever saw was splashing around in a
crusty cedar bucket. Do you have any video of a boat you were on, or
do you just watch the Deadlest Catch like bOb and pretend ? ;0)

I am the last of the Alaska Cannery Radiomen... and I have been on my
share of Crabbers, Draggers, and Shrimpers, (Before Video Cameras
existed) during my 40+ years in the Biz. Now I am semi-reTired and have
a nice gig being the Winterman at one of those canneries. I know many of
the skippers, in the fleet, as well as having mutual Friends, and
acquaintances, thru out the fishing community in the North Pacific.
Once had a Ride from SandPoint to Squaw Harbor that took 2 days....
and I did a Shelikof Straight run from Port Bailey to Alitak that took
3 days... It is a bitch when you have to jog between the crests just
to maintain steerage, in 140 ft Steel Crabber, or Coastal Freighter...
