Discovery kept the cameras rolling while Captain Sig was suffering from a heart attack. Sig has then since described the heart attack as most do, sharp pain like a knife behind your chest, a knife that keeps pushing and pushing….

Northwestern had a challenging AK Bering Sea Crab Season recently, the bow was damaged and bent in early on at nearly the first big winter storm at sea, they had an electrical fire while underway at sea and Sig suffered a heart attack. Discovery documented these live events while underway aboard the Northwestern.

After a rough and challenging crab season the Northwestern runs down hill from Alaska’s Bering Sea, departing Dutch Harbor to finally land in the lower 48 of Seattle in the heart of Ballard on the Seattle Ship Canal. After the downhill run the Northwestern zips over to Fishermen’s Terminal to unload crab post at fast record speed then to their home port of Pacific Fishermen Shipyard. Our Salty Dog Boating News, Salty Dog 105 pound Lab see’s all crabber marine traffic underway 1st when they make their way to fresh water for that Ballard Locks lift into the canal for home free times. The Northwestern, like all other AK Deadliest Catch crabbers spend their summers back in in Alaska for summer salmon tender season, life in the hook, watching movies and racing for fastest offloaders…. crabbers are freaking crazy crane operators, no joke, from experience, yes they are fast but watch your head, head’s up, and fast feet and fingers.
GOD BLESS OUR FISHER-MEN & FISHER-WOMEN
& their families….. go catching….!!!
