EDITOR wanted

Gloucester Prattys deadliest catch east coast after the catch

Posted in Main on December 19th, 2008 by Bobby Baker

went to Gloucester Tuesday December 16th 2008 .21608-060-Small

one thing on my mind . photo the Lady Grace ,see if Moses was still in Gloucester.

captain Ron and i like to check on Gloucester. first stop at the Crows Nest . Terry was tending the bar.

Greg was sitting at the other end of the bar. we ordered two hats , two beers ,

any one seen Moses? someone said they just saw him at the fish pier aka state pier.

i knew he would stop at prattys  moses . at prattys Joyce was smoking a cigarette .

long time native Gloucester barmaid at the Crows Nest in the 1900s. beautiful Lady.

got a short chat about the Andrea Gail she cried for Bobby Shatford . and his girlfriend camping out on her couch after they perished .

she gave me a long hug. an old friendly face .

walked in to Prattys took a picture of Moses and the captain Ron.

bartender started yelling at me no cameras ha ha ahaha, he was a stiff old prick

just like every captain would yell at me over the years no f  EDIT camera .

swear one captain dropped my camera over the side as we were getting off the boat after

a trip of throwing over dead haddock over for three days straight. took some nice shots .

lost to the sea for ever . you can see the last flash go off as it descended to the depths.

thousand pound quota on haddock. amendment 13 , the fleet of new england wasted millions of pounds of beautiful fish.

a shameful sin on management regulations. lots of fisherman know how we feel fishing on Georges banks. edit Georges deserves a capital letter.
back to Prattys , piss me off. i replied you let the deadliest catch bring their cameras in.

i walked out disgusted. went took a couple pictures on the fish pier, no one taking fish out,.

captain Ron and Moses were out front looking for me when i came back through . we had a crew of 4 now .

headed to mitchs next to the old timers across from the lady grace berth. across from Saint Peters.

got what i came for . roll of film featuring the movie boat for the perfect storm .

thanks Sebastion Junger for opening Pandoras box. it may have been like all the others

unknown unamed. Fishing Vessel HIGH STAKES ,you never hear that boats name in association with the perfect storm. she was fishing on the Grand Banks in the October storm of 1991. a girl told me her boy friend was on the High Stakes.as were one of my old friends .Jim .glad she told me her story. ERIC  AKA  FOOTY , he was on watch in the wheelhouse of  High Stakes. we know the weather was extreme,to say the least,people wont come out of the house on land ,let alone be on the Grand Banks.the captain and crew were in their bunks. footy was on watch alone jogging or trying to keep the 70 foot steel boats bow into the oncoming wind and waves.Grand Banks home of rouge waves ,that and Georges banks,east coast has rouge wave areas. where the conditions are perfect to produce the surprise widow makers. rouge waves are known by many names.the hand of GOD,if you are on these areas in the Ocean.you are in GODS hands, heavy seas are made on the shoals of Georges. the grand Banks and any other sea mounts where deep vast  bottom meets the continental shelf. Eric is on watch when out of nowhere  he sees the large wall of water heading for the High Stakes. in a split second the sea crashes and breaks on the helpless crew. it pushes the 100 ton ship backwards and inundates the deck full of water. High Stakes has been pused back and down in to the heavy sea storm. just as the wave clears another giant wall of sea water is coming right at the boat , footy knows this is the biggest one he has seen. he yells hold on the crew is not sleeping but they do not see it coming. pow bang like a wave shot from a canon it hits with devastating forces steel breaks snaps and twists the water rushes through nearly every missing window in the wheelhouse. Eric has been blown out of the wheelhouse and finds himself on the back deck full of water and contents of the wheelhouse where he was on watch. he is still alive and kicking.he is shook up but not injured to bad,but he has nearly cut one of his toes off and is bleeding hard. the crew are on alert now.wheelhouse has been destroyed in an instant. no windows left no steering or control.it has been separated from the deck by a couple feet from its original position. its may day may day may day,everymariner’s worst nightmare,we are going down on the Grand Banks .every one on the High Stakes is still alive ,even the boat dog is still alive. the air waves are full of static electricity, and may day is every where. E P I R B s are going off,all coast gaurd stations are on most high alert.crews from other boats are aware of the high stakes distress signalbut there is little any one can do. only choice is take care of yourself.other boats want to help but can not due to sea conditions.  any attempt to make way to their position is futal .waves are at the point where steering is nearly impossible. the fleet has one option batton down ride the storm out,seas are pushing 100 foot boats backwards when they hit the bows. drifting is an option .but this can be fatal in an instant. the crew of the High Stakes are forced to Abandon ship to the life raft. it will be three days in the life raft on the Grand Banks before the crew and dog of the High Stakes will be rescued.Footy is ;losing a lot of blood in the raft .the water inside is blood red and covering the bottom part.the other crew members think  Footy might die from blood loss. its no picinic ride in a life raft in a storm.the raft is not stable and tends to be violently tossed about the monster seas. often men in life rafts are ytossed around so that men are thrown out in to the sea. exhausting being thrashed about,then trying to swim back to the raft and get back in. 3 days in the raft  GOD HELP US is the status.

Captains in Maine , most will shun photo lense.

Posted in Main on December 4th, 2008 by Bobby Baker

the camera  is on the list of things that dont impress the captain .

get that EDIT camera out of my wheelhouse!   some crew are all for it .

for a smoke  ,or  a  watch.  do the dishes , prices i have paid for offshore pictures.

the halibut pictures on the Andrea Gail  in 1990 1991 winter . Linda Greenlaw was running the Hanah Boden.  they cost a few smokes . take the first watch home.

all  these pictures of the  perfect storm Andrea Gail on the web . the men in the photos were not the men who died on the boat .

only one man in the andrea gail photos  was lost .

UN NAMED UNKNOWN

Posted in Main on November 8th, 2008 by Bobby Baker

unknown fish trips TOPIC  the Unknown trip only the crew knows about.

short trip ,excuse to turn the ship around ,sneak in and out for a day trip. shack the trip, also known as ghost trip,crew splits the catch dollars  without the boat owner knowing common in the industry. pull in to a different port unload go right back out fish a few days  go  back to home port .tell the owner  fishing was poor,broken down .any story handy. just no fish. all fishermen are liars ,Shame on us . well it wasn’t what my topic of thought when setting down behind the mighty key pad,from the mighty pencil to the internet, a collection of words to ponder. original y meant to write the thoughts of yesterday still in todays grasp of publish. for the few of you who compute.

beware the ide of march. imprinted on my memory thanks to the mighty pencil or pen i carried on the The Andrea Gail March of 1991 this is the Unknown trip  Andrea Gail  Journal list March 18th 1991 . went to a funeral for a close fishing mate John Joy 6 pm in South Portland, lots of fishermen there, Tony Deltorto was there with his son Joey Deltorto.John worked for Tony on his small boats.Called him at his Place on Cape Cod. told him John Died could he come to Maine,John Joy was my first fishing mate,gill net fishing around 1979. right after the funeral that night left for Gloucester to go fishing on the Andrea Gail  remember the last time I saw Tony Deltorto and John Joy,  should have been an ominus sign, remember the Pamela D ,42 foot bruno gill net boat , Tony let John and Baker take the boat,she stalled when you pulled in to nuetral,john was turning in to union wharf ,Pamela stalled .smashed in to Union wharf. did some bad damage forward bow

we bounced off, John saying hold on  hold on , Laughing as he let go of the wheel, ( Bob you better take over now)  first time at the wheel for me unofficially,  Back to the topic, left the funeral home in South Portland, got to Gloucester around 9 pm march 18th 1991, olsen studer maxwell baker and captain ski gimp. steam till daylight up off the gulf of Maine,daylight set the cable drum out 18 miles,2500 hooks give or take a few hundred,hooks are baited and stowed in fish baskets,250 hooks average,300 a full heavy basket.we set the gear out and start to haul back.weather is  bad at  best.          10 foot  sea  force 7  35  to 40 knot gusts of wind. we have around 1500 pounds of ground fish mostly small cusk ,few cod fish ,lots of hake. out of the BLUE ,Captain says we are going in, March 19th 1991 about 50 miles from Portland Maine, Andrea Gail is going to Portland Maine,boat owner has no idea what is going on. the cell phone, woman on the other end of a phone.Strategically  fishing where cell phone signals can be picked up.around 30 miles offshore  average cell phone distance, she loves the Captain, they warned her. she loves me ,he loves me too, all that love make a boat go any where, went to pull a few codfish out of the hole to bring home to eat, captain went nuts  threw the fish back in the hole from the hatch i was fileting. hollaring screaming no fish for me ,half way to Portland, not supposed to be there, owner has no clue. captain started pushing me belly style in my face. (do not push me again Captain) ! the rest of the crew are looking on in Awe.

Olsen reminded me about the scene 16 years later . from the back seat of a Taxi i was driving. he tells the story better than i . funny how he got in the taxi i was driving 16 years later, told me he was on the Andrea Gail with me,.i told he was high on drugs, quote ( screw you Bobby Baker  i was there you and that Captain were pushing each other back and forth on the Andrea Gail, olsen i was there when he smashed the Andrea Gail into Union Wharf in front of all Those People, broke that big brand new pilon off like a tooth pick, knocked me on my ass when we hit the wharf, put that 12 foot long dent in the starboard bow .bent the steel right over on the bow, Major BOW  DAMAGE  ON  THE ANDREA GAIL STARBOARD BOW Bent in from the bow eye back 10 to 12 feet

THE FINAL STABILITY STRAW ,dent is severe in the top bow,affecting the way water is displaced, major factor ,unknown to every one except us,Bill Studer he went flying across the deck when we hit, they just moved  a 90 foot boat as we were approaching Union Wharf Portland Maine, tom the fish broker and some lumper and unloading crews are waiting for Andrea To land.they are not expecting a crash landing,maxwell is thrown across the deck on impact also. skipper is holding the wheel eyes wide open .he knows first Andrea Gail is going to Be part of the end of Union wharf , every one on the wharf starts back stepping its almost high tide, crash bang ,out riggers are waving around up chains rattling hair raing experience, i was sitting at the galley table still mad and refusing to man the lines for the earlier fish incident.

immediately,Captain runs up in my face after we stopped .he went to the engine room returned to deck screams at me  (WHAT DID YOU DO) blank blank edit remark (TAKE A HAMMER TO THE REVERSE GEAR ! ),my immediate response ( THATS FIGHTING WORDS AROUND HERE CAPTAIN)

we are in a heated exchange of words, one more remark like that Captain you can meet me at the top of the ladder.we are taking it to the wharf ,most all Captains around here check reverse at the state pier ,before they attempt to land the ship. that was the last time i was ever aboard the Andrea Gail. one memory of lasting impression. Alfred was not there to see my last trip. up the wharf i went that march 19th 1991, had my gear and head to the nor west, old saying in Maine on the boats.went to the nearest fish bar .Captain Cooks BAR

Wharfs End back then , one extremely pissed off fisherman, walked in the bar place was empty, Captain Cook was at the bar ,started to tell cook the story about the hammer and the reverse gear,and in walks the skipper of the Andrea Gail with his girlfriend in tow, looked at Captain Cook and told him if he says one word about SABOTAGE were going to have a brawl instantly. Cook says  non  no  no ,dont do it let me handle it. sat back at the other end of the bar snearing at the love struck Andrea Gail Captain at wharfs end.while the rest of the crew were still on the boat, not many people saw it happen .but the few that did will never forget the ANDREA GAIL in Portland Maine that March afternoon around 5 pm 19th March 1991

Andrea is at the wharf East Gloucester Rocky neck ,art colony with GLOUCESTER Massachusetts Billy Studer and Mark Olsen on this trip.Alfred Pierre is not going because he went last trip with a different skipper .the crew split at the wharf in Gloucester last trip.Roger Captained the Andrea Gail trip #5/91 also known as  AKA trip #5 in 1991 Alfred Pierre  was the only original crewman for the past year,Roger got some Gloucester friends to go trip 5 / 91, Captain is  Back from his Ski injury .  so many guys coming and going on the deck and wheelhouse. lots of new guys. AKA fresh meat to settle. turning wheel on the unseaworthy ANDREA, BLACK BALLED by Gloucester men.Alfred is in new york with his pregnant girlfriend. this unknown trip is short  less than 48 hours of chaos. Bill Studer, Mark Olsen,Frank Maxwell ,Baker ,and a love struck  Captain ,with a girl in Maine.A boat in Gloucester,boat owner who does not want his boat in Portland,Maine. what do you think the outcome is. set out from gloucester

memory of Captain  Christopher Tobey

captain Linda Greenlaw

Posted in Main on November 7th, 2008 by Bobby Baker

over the line Linda  Maine Captain Linda Greenlaw . amazing woman.  she drifted over the  boundary line to Canada, Original Productions has film footage of 3 sword  boats  with crews. Linda got a 25 thousand dollar  fine, its unclear if the catch was seized. more unjust actions of GOVERNMENT SHAME.     we as a group of stand up sea going mariners. have come to our conclusion , CAPTAIN GREENLAW had NO INTENT OF FISHING IN CANADIAN WATERS, AND  was not engaged in fishing . we think a CANADIAN Vessel  bound for CANADA  HOOKED AND TOWED  the vessels gear in to the edge of the line ,that does not EXCEED THE 200 mile limit.or line ,we have fished along side each other for years,lets get realistic. many a Canadian crewman .worked on boats in Maine ,when MAINE  citizens  could not  make a trip  because the Captain took another nationality with no papers, seen it  hundreds of times , i can bullshit the regulations all day they are unconstitutional, who is responsible . the N M F S .  this organization is not fair  or reasonable,

the court should not prosecute FISHERMAN.for these violations of the court,   easy to blame the GOVERNMENT regulations, its not  a person . it is not  for  the  people, or by the people, a select few ,tax funded ,who think they know ,    QUOTE BY A PAST FISHERMAN FROM  MAINE, YOU CAN’T TEACH THEM A THING.THEY HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION ,THEY KNOW EVERYTHING.  MERTON  JUNKINS   BUXTON MAINE  R I P

Charlie had a bad 2009 sword season,Tim is  A JONAH , cant say i haven’t been watching the JONAH  or known by many names PHEN NOM MENA

the bad KARMA OR JOHNAH  the signs never lie MATE they just keep messing up.Charlie Lost his wheel 2009 ,defined by me you took mcgurlica cursed .so a new 10 thousand dollar 20 GS may be for a sweet Propeller. In Gloucester. but you just got towed to the boat yard in Saint Johns Newfoundland,snapt the shaft Lost the wheel to Davy Jones , a few weeks at least out of the sword game news is bad, When the Stephanie Vaughn lost her wheel up on the Grand Banks .In the EARLY May Alfred Pierre ,on his own knowledge, dove in the icy cold Grand  Banks deep under the hull with no wet suit just a mask  T shirt and Shorts in May to tie  aline around the wheel Alfred Knew was Going to come loose and be lost to the sea forever, he was right ,it came free like he called it ,to the skipper Alfred Said if it comes loose in the tow to Saint John Captain ,the wheel is saved by the line you can pay me 500 dollars. no one wanted to do it. they stopped the tow a few days into a rough spell  took over  8 hours to come along and chain fall the wheel and shaft end stub aboard.broke where they usualy do,in the shaft log, lack of grease causes friction in bad weather, RUDDERS are some what like the prop shaft.bad weather more friction ,rudder shaft Fails water innondates vessel bad weather factor number one, number two cause of sinking , Boats that are refitted or added on to .lenth wise .more stress on rudder designed for its origonal size, affects steering ,CRUCIAL in Gale force storms, Rudder is one most common failures on vessels . an over looked factor. ME  I Always LOOK AT THE BOATS RUDDER and SHaft,at the wharf before we sail .to insure from past horrific experiences, that the crew will be safe every trip, TWO people are better than one in the Engineering department on a ship .this applies to ships or boats of smaller size, once i was the only crew man to know the way to port after the Coast Guard rescued the Captain .we were way outside ,Boston or one of its great assets cuttered the bleeding skipper to the hospital  jonah  Tim. two Tim Jonahs I know of here nor east district 1  Feltis jonah chucky worm digger, one worm digger worked for Kelly for years Jackie ,good man, during the Lobster wars of (1989 to 1991) jack worked for the widgery wharf  Pete known by many Boat owner names, Jackie would say Pete would bitch about the RAMBLER known also by many names ,hi a watha ,came down the Fore river to Teach Respect to the Knife of Widgery wharf tribe, that have ruled the lobster in Portland,with the knife from Buxton Known by many names Stoirmin Norman, Rambling Man is on their turf, they drew war first on him . you will love this , He has Marine Patrol in his Gang of ill lobster catchers.

that bared false statements , their all done Just The Big Bad Wolf

the lobster industry is  next  to  die   nearly 200  lost license   rapid decline

last year was poor fishing in the gulf for most   ten percent  of the  boats  land 90 percent of  the  lobster

rockland eastport are  fish  ghost  towns   portland  and  below are fisherman unfriendly

you   couldnt  use the rest room  at  the  fish pier   if you bought  millions of dollars in fuel or  ice

fisherman are all dead .  they  got  the results  they wanted . the collapse of a legacy. extinction of the fisherman.

ironic  the  fish  population is higher than ever . some  small  mesh  should be more regulated . thats  it .

big   regulation   is  the  only  outlook . to  the  highest  bidder    the  big red  lobster
