*Gasp* Two posts in one day after two months of silence? Crazy! Aidin and I apologize for our absence. It really couldn't be helped.
So Captain Keith of the Wizard has been blowing up Twitter lately showing us pictures of the Wizard getting a facelift and inspection. Its really cool to see this process.
The Wizard getting ready to pull into dry dock.
High in the sky
Welding repairs on the bottom of the ship. Captain Keith says that its mandatory for a ship to have a hull inspection every two years. Hmm, something else I didn't know.
So, I have been wondering this for a while now: Why exactly is there paint on the bottom of the ship? A: You never see it, its always under the water, and B: Doesn't the waves chip the paint off? Why waste money?
I thought this was the best picture. After years of seeing the tanks get stuffed full of crab, and hearing how much the tanks can hold, we finally get to see how deep they really are. Sure, the Deadliest Catch film crews show you the tanks from the deck, but its hard to get a good perspective of how deep those things really are. This amazes me, really.
So once again, sorry for our absence. Aidin and I will try in the upcoming months to really get involved in this blog again, now that things are picking back up as the captains get ready for the upcoming season in October.
And, to boot, our birthday party is this weekend (Aidin's birthday was the 5th of August, mine is the 13th)(yeah, I know, it's FRIDAY the 13th. "Don't leave port on a Friday") and its a Deadliest Catch theme. It's gonna be a blast and I'm excited to get some pictures on here to show you.
Shut Up And Fish!
