When life kicks you down, let it kick you forward. The F/V Courageous's engine died in the middle of the night in Naknek. Everyone is safe, but our season is over.
We've already caught more than our total catch last season, so the crew is stoked. They're also stoked that transferring to a new district means you have to wait 48 hours before fishing again. That means sleep!
Meet the crew of the F/V Courageous for the 2022 Bristol Bay salmon season.
Mike reports watching Beluga whales this morning, and they're ready to fish the Nushagak River.
The F/V Courageous is in the water!: After a long day with a full page to-do list, we launched the Courageous Tuesday night at 8pm. Everything went smoothly, and the engine sounds excellent.
