Poll- Do You Like One More Than The Other

Hard to say without seeing it a little closer. Kind of resembles RDV-004. Maybe you can loupe it and compare here:

So what do you do up there? Fishing? Or oil rig?

Hi ian, I am the chief engineer on a crab boat. Our boat leases out our crab quota because the owners make about 8% more leasing out the quota than they would sending us out there and paying for the trip. We will be tendering up there for the Sockeye salmon season and hit S.E. Alaska on the way back to Seattle. I might be going to the Gulf of Mexico in the fall if the oil is still a mess down there - $450.00 a day for that job.

Will Trade Salmon For Coins - LOL

Me too Scooby.....that was so sad.
But the younger Jake was actually the more experienced one. And he and his brother could NEVER get along....regardless, I don't think one could take orders from the other, since their fathers passing sadly. When Phil was in the hospital the first time, you'll remember that "neither" of his sons took the helm. It was the first mate who did, the two sons were deckhands and/or deckboss. Josh would occasionally relieve his dad in the wheelhouse for a nap during good weather, but that was about it I think.
I have no idea who will helm the Corneilia Marie now....time will tell.....it'll be interesting to see what happens I'm sure. I do hope that one or both of the sons could do it.

That's pretty cool Brent ! .....I'll have to look for it !

And I suspected as much with the "film crew guys" for a lot of those boats. I think with the smaller boats, $2,000.00 per man would be a good thing.....the bigger boats maybe not so much ?
And I'm sure that those who own their own boats enjoy the "Celebrity Factor" (ie going on Larry King Live or something)
I know Captin Phil used his celebrity for lots of "side money ventures"......

I'd sure like an opportunity for that kind of money and work in the Gulf of Mexico down south.....but I wouldn't want to risk my life in the Bering Sea for ANY amount of money !
But......alas.....I'm a lifelong Kansan ! ......I've only seen the ocean twice in my life ! I doubt I'd be able to handle rough seas too well ! .....

I always prefer an OC to have a date but if that is not possible, I would choose the one with the highest degree of OC which would be #2.

Eaglefoot - Don't you get rough sea's there in Kansas in the form of every year? I think I would rather go down with the boat then fly through the air or get impaled by an object. Both must have the pucker factor happening.

If you think about it - there are a lot of politics in the fishing industry - most are Union Workers and won't go out if the price is not good. Others, that I will leave nameless for this post, only care about themselves and will scab. This has not happened in years now so these guys are getting back into the good side of most the fisherman but one of the favorite boats on Deadliest Catch was a scab boat and it took years, and I mean years for the other fisherman to start accepting them as even Humans. It can get very very ugly up there.

Jbuck - I am amazed these get through the mint myself - but I don't mind - I like these odd balls.

biokemist6 - I tend to have the same thoughts as you as far as to the more off center #2 coin. The poll says we are the minority.

Wolf - if the weather ever stops raining up here we might get a chance to ride before I leave. It was nicer here in March than it is now. My sons band is going to put on a going away party for me on Sat night but if it is nice in the morning we may have to meet up at Northwest Harley and maybe head for Mt Rainier or out to the Olympics, my back yard. Ride Free -

Peace
