For the Rest of us though, the Shrimp and Artichoke Crepes are just waiting, along with
The Dessert Table, Chocolate cake a plenty!!
The Chefs all wanted to say Hi, and wish a plesent Lunch to all Of you guys!! HUGE POST TODAY, so let's get right to it and start with the Boats in Dutch and all the other "Dirt"
No, Not you yet, you snazzy little boat, You come later, Now Hush, Be Quiet or I won't put you in the post!!

The Farwest Leader was tied up at the Trident Dock alng side another boat that will be talked about LATER. I really enjoyed them on the show, Much more than the Early Dawn that replaced them.
YES Northwestern, we can all see your Opilio Pots. Yes it is nice that the boys all did them before they went on holiday. Now Be quiet!!!

I did not really care for the Rollo on the show, but she was out at the Spit Dock. This Baby has some "Back", by far the "Widest" of the boats ever on the show.
OK, OK Northwestern, everyone can see that your pots are already rigged for Opies!! You have not listened so you are going into "Time Out" Little Lady!!! Now HUSH!!!
I really liked the Maverick when it was on the show, until Blake took over that is. Ever since then they have had some issues, including lots of fines for Undersize crabs!!
The Early Dawn in the "Small Boat Harbor" or the "Ghetto Harbor" as it is know in Dutch. I have mentioned before my dislike for this boat right?
THAT IS IT NORTHWESTERN!!! You are now going Last. I Hope you are happy!! Edgar is not even at the controls so WHY would anyone want to see them? Don't look at me that way. Next time you will wait!
Though not a personal favorite it is nice to see the North American Again. Even is she is blocking the view of one of my favorites, the Cornelia Marie!
The Size difference is interesting, as is how they both "Ride" in the water.
No Pots already rigged on board for Opies!! Looks like the boys have some work to do once they get back to town!!!
The Wheelhouse is just waiting for you Phil!!!
Come back soon!!!
I Hear you over there Northwestern!!! No Playing with your coiler. You are in a Time Out!!
The Wizard was parked in the Middle of the Dock at Westward Seafoods (The Prime Location, no long walks on the dock to get there). Someone down there must like them as much as I do!!
The New Paint Job looks AWESOME and the engines were purring like Kittens!! Money well spent Keith!! And Good job on rigging the pots before you left guys!! Saves you alot of time in the nasty weather we are having right now!!
Yes Northwestern, it is FINALLY your turn.
As Always Additional Security is Provided by SEAGULL ENTERPRISES. Seagull Enterprises, cleaning up humanity's messes since 10,000BC! Call for a quote Today!
Yes, yes, the New paint job is awesome looking, I do agree. VERY Sharp!
You are a little close to the Dock though, Who Parked you? JAKE?
How many times has Sig yelled through that window, or opened that door to "Check on His Crab"?
Yes, yes, yes, The Boys were smart to do the pots before Opies.
Looks like a new block so hopefully no Edgar repairs at sea this year!!

Seriously Jake, You are going to scratch the Paint all up!!!!

I hope you all enjoyed the First Brunch of 2009. I try to post every day, and as news warrants. Check back soon!!

Morris Cove, Wild Horses, and A Preview of The Deadliest Catch Boats for Sunday Brunch

It was a BEAUTIFUL Day,
Up Dutch Harbor way.
What you do on the First,
You will be doing all year.
What to do? What to do?
I Pondered a Bit,
And then thought back
Ten Days Plus Three
To a Promise I made,
You friends of mine,
and Morris Cove as Destination
Quickly Sprang to mind.
Out past Summer Bay,
Far Beyond Little Priest Rock,The Road Keeps on Going,
Up, Up and Up!!
Till You get to a place,
(Magic some say)
Where Wild Horses come,
To romp, dance and play!
A bit timid they were,
Due to some kids on a 4-Wheeler,
Still I felt Blessesd
To Finally See them!
Even as they marched away.....
The Gateway to the Bering,
And the Secrets she holds,

Was on full display,
in these photos bellow.

Far too soon for me,
It was time to head home,

Over Hill,
Over Dale,

Over Mountain and Rock,
The Road home was longer
Than the road Out!!

Still Back Home,
What is waiting for me?
It would be that saucy Lady,
The Cornelia Marie

Oh, and What is that way down the Dock?
I really can not for the Life of me make it out.
Maybe tomorrow we shall see,
the end to this Mystery....



Happy New Year All!!

To You From Me,

Loving Dutch Harbor

And the Bering Sea!!

New Years Food and Fireworks!

Happy New Year Everyone. Finally got the Camera Working so Here are some shots. Not as good as Steve's but still fun. And Mum, see, I DID make up Pork and Saurkraut for New Years, carrying on the Family tradition!! (Though the Rye Bread I got at the Store was nowhere near as good as Grams's)
I staked out a place early in the day on Strawberry Hill for that nights frenzy......
...While Steve would have been over on Haystack for his awesome shots. (Note to self, an "accident" needs to happen to his new "Big Boy" Camera, Or I need to swipe a good one from the Discovery Channel Photographers in time for the Fourth of July)
And So it begins.....


This shot marks the end of my good Camera and the switch to my I-Phone. You will notice how the pinpricks of light almost look like the initials 'RR', which is Ironic as HE was supposed to go out with all of us that night and called off at the last minute. Everyone say SHAME ON RR!!!





You know for I-Phone shots they actually came out pretty good.

I am not making any resolutions this year. For the most part they end up being empty promises forgotten by Valentines Day. I will continue to treat my employees as good as I can, Explore More of the Island (BTW Got out to Morris Cove yesterday and saw the wild Horses, Posting on that tomorrow), and deliver all the Deadliest Catch news I can without ruining the season for all of you (And GOD with some of the stuff I know I SOOOOO could!!!)

I Pray everyone has as good a New Year as mine is looking to be!!!

And A Great Big Welcome to mamawas and Mick Muise, the Newest Followers of Dutch Harbor Dirt!!

Ok, I am out of Here for the Day. Going to go to all the docks and see what DC boats are in town and take some pictures. Probably will post that on the Sunday Brunch.

Have a Great Day everyone!!

New Years BUST!!!

I do not think I will be posting pictures today as I completely drained the battery in the camera last night and NOW it does not want to start up, even to download pictures.
I had a good time last night with my friends and co-workers, and HOPEFULLY I will get those pictures up tomorrow!!

Thanks to everyone for giving this little blog a chance, and I promise lots of great stuff in the coming year!
