Yeah - he's the captains little brother - so there's that sibling rivalry thing going on - probably bitter 'cause he's slinging bait and big bro is dry in the wheelhouse.
I can't imagine being on a boat like that with 40ft waves and 60kt winds. I'd feel real uncomfortable without a sail. You lose power and you are toast (like that one boat that blew a head gasket).
Im not totally up on the new crab rules - but as i understand it it's not a race anymore. Each boat has its poundage quota and you can take your time catching it - correct?? So why not wait out the storm???
