2/16/08, 4:30pm, Dutch Harbor

Good day, but a long one. First, we stopped at a processor (Unisea) and saw crab and cod being processed for shipping. The amazing thing about these processors is that not a single part of the fish is wasted. (They even save the fish oil and use it as fuel.) We then boarded a 200 ft long liner. Also spent some time in an Aleutian Island museum. The highlight of the day was boarding the Bering Star crab boat (which has been on the Deadliest Catch) and chatting with the captain about crab rationalization. Great stuff. Plus the weather was finally agreeable. Hats off to Charlie for making this all possible for us. Time for an adult beverage. More later.
