The last one to buy provisions was a boat called Whitewater. Long trip to the fishing grounds. Usually a 30 day trip. 5 days of steaming there and then 5 days back all to chase the swords on the break of the gulf stream. Crazy!!

Phat,
That's cool! Building cost are pretty high around here. I think lots of the fishing boats are built in Louisiana. Fairhaven shipyard here built two Scalloper last year. Seems the build cost is getting close. The scallop fishery is big $$$ around here. New Bedford has held the #1 fish port (for $$$ per catch) for a number of years.

We had a few shipyards here, but they went in and out of different chapters and ended up with one, Eastern. In september, they were awarded a 10.5 BILLION dollar contract for 24 new coast guard cutters. Louisiana builds a lot of fishing and oil field boats. I think they start teaching welding in the third grade over there.

i saw that, about eastern getting that contract. bit smaller than the cutters we build but made me think... might put in an application and move over that way. if the pay is right, might be worth considering. looks like they starting up early 2018

So far I haven't been caught in bad seas, I guess I'm a little lucky and very very careful with the weather maybe to much sometimes, but I'm sure if I find get caught my v will get us back safe
