Living In Alaska
When I lived on Kodiak Island for three years between 1996-1999 we saw lots of deaths due to capsizing. It was also with seiners fishing for salmon or heering. The memorial plaque at the waterfront is filled with names of people who have died and each year it seems they add a few more. Every Memorial Day they toll the bell in memory of those who have crossed the bar. Trust me the Bearing Sea is no picnic. My heart goes out to the families of the missing crew.
