Just finished a book that is probably familiar to many of you PNW guys. It is Lost at Sea by Patrick Dillon. It certainly brought out the dangers of the Bering Sea fishing and crabbing.
Eric has probably read it, but if not I think he would find it interesting. There is a large part devoted to stability of boats. The small town of Anacortes suffered a devistating blow when they lost 14 men at one time from the community. It affected the whole community. I had a little connection with the town as back in the 60s I bought many a car load of plywood from mills around there.
For any fans of the Deadliest Catch TV show on the Discovery Channel, the show doesn't come near showing the extent of the real danger out there.
