RIP: Captain Phil Harris

[oneway]

amazes me that he was only 53, the Hillstrand brothers are still under 50 I believe, so is Sig and edgar.
Phil Harris will defiantly be one man I wished I met in life.

No doubt...

Phil Harris led a hard and rough life...by his own choosing...

An independent man who never held his hand out asking for anything...and that is the lesson he tried to teach his kids...

Phil Harris to his son Jake (paraphrased:

"You could be a astronaut if you wanted to, but your not...your on a crab boat...and you have a job to do...and your just another deckhand right now..."

Meanwhile 20 foot waves were crashing over the bow and the crew was on a 20 hour Opie grind...

God bless Captain Phil

I always liked Phil. It was painful to watch what his sons went thru, but you also saw them make a lot of good decisions at an important milestone in their lives. After The Catch was very good. It was like going to a wake for a old friend.

Josh has really grown...remember he came on the boat after Jake...

Josh will be Captain of the Cornelia Maria next season...count on it...

His composure and demeanor through his fathers illness would make any parent proud...

  Josh Harris

And millions of people will be praying and pulling for him to succeed...

Absolutely not happening.  Josh only has a few years on the boat period.  He is nowhere near experienced enough to run it and won't even be considered.

Yeah - when Andy & Johnathan were talking about Mike taking over the Time Bandit, they were mentioning years when it came to his captains apprenticeship. I saw an interview with Johnathan Hilstrand and he mentioned one of Phil's great worries was that he didn't prepare his sons sufficiently to take over from him

It will be years before Josh is ready to captain a boat, and a lot longer for Jake.

They may own Phil's part of the boat, they may even buy Cornelia Marie Devlin out of her half, if she wants to sell.

Jonathan, Andy, and Sig will be looking over those boys, for quite some time. And that's a good thing. I'm sure they'll be helping them find a captain to take the boat for a while.

Every week, they replay last weeks show first, then the current show. They don't replay the "After the Catch" episode from the previous week.

Josh will run the boat...

His first year he will have a co-captain...hopefully not Murray as he is lackluster...

The perfect script would be the Hillstrand brothers coming over to guide Josh...Andy for Kings, and Johnathan for the Opies...

CM has Freddie as DB...one of the best in the business...Josh can leave the deck to Freddie...bump his share...lean on him...

All Josh has to do is to place himself with the right mentor and he will get 'it' and get it quick...and he is not stupid...he knows his limitations...

Josh will run this boat mark my words...it might take a couple of years but the kid has it...
