From, literally, HUNDREDS of boats there are now a hundred boats or so.<br /><br />Having to correspond to MASSIVE regulations. And detail after detail after detail after detail after detail.<br /><br />Kimi: just ASK the Captains who fish there, off Dutch.<br /><br />I'll bet they'd answer in the affirmative.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916312695197349293.post-25843349722925054462011-04-27T17:09:49.680-08:002011-04-27T17:09:49.680-08:00BZ, you raise an interesting point.

I have said to a friend that it looks like enough regulations will make crab fishing a government farm instead of a free enterprise. Boats are dropping like flies, and crews are put out of work every year, because operating costs are too high, and what they make per crab due to the quota system is just too low. Plus quota number drops, have made it even worse.Kimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534960534609387420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916312695197349293.post-79791116800443574172011-04-27T16:19:31.313-08:002011-04-27T16:19:31.313-08:00CB:

People see Deadliest Catch as an exciting show; I see it as a bunch of boats who somehow have managed to succeed DESPITE the onerous regulations placed upon them.<br /><br />People migrate to Alaska because they THINK it's the Last Frontier. Not quite. It might be one of the MOST regulated states in the Union BECAUSE of its free spirit.<br /><br />I submit this, CB: it's up to YOU to try to convey this to your readers, who are infinitely GREATER than mine. I suggest you can be a Great Voice in revealing the Federal Thumb under which Alaskans must operate.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916312695197349293.post-50154861444181048982011-04-26T22:22:18.980-08:002011-04-26T22:22:18.980-08:00I really wish you all could have been there at the...I really wish you all could have been there at the event and taste the Amazing food Rich and His crew came up with, Just beyond belief.

I have a twelve shot sequence of a polar bear clan and sub that rotates on my classroom computer screensaver file, now I know the sub's moniker.<br /><br />The wine tasting/auction was a success too..yeah.<br /><br />Hurry up Unalaska spring weather. (recall...37 degrees on fourth of July) warmest place in winter in AK, coldest place in summer in AK.

I enjoyed seeing again the pictures of the polar bear and the sub. Reminded me of the spy cams that were used to observe the polar bears. The polar bears enjoyed exploring those also. <br /><br />The CVB Wine Tasting looked incredible. I liked the sushi love California rolls they are yummy with wasabi. So glad you won the item you bid on. What a cool prize enjoy it.
