I should have become a commercial fisherman


Every time I see in person, an old commercial fishing boat such as the one seen here (in Cordova, AK) I get all excited thinking about what it would be like to actually work on one. My favorite cable TV show is "Deadliest Catch". I watch it regularly with my cat Lucy who also loves fishing and crabbing boats. Lucy and I refer to it as "our show".

I have always been interested in things nautical, and somewhat regret never having joined the Navy instead of the Army. I tried to enter the US Naval Academy right after high school, but my grades totally sucked so that was the end to that dream. Still, I have a very soft spot in my heart for those who make a living at sea.

Ship ahoy anyone?
