Yeah Roger you see big strong 6 foot guys break down and cry and I've seen little guys work their ass off day in and day out on deck. All in the mind if you don't have the drive for it you won't make it through a season. Sorry to hear about Jeff Hathaway and the rest of the crew I'll never forget the day I heard about the destination and the day I heard about the scandies. Always saw the scandies and it was such a beast I fell in love with that boat the first time I saw it.

Still the same situation everyone wants to go crabbing and only 10% can tough it out. It's just as much about being mentally strong as physically and emotionally strong. Sorry to hear about Jeff and the crew of the destination. Was such a beautiful boat same with the scandies rose. Sad sad day for the rest of the fleet. I've heard everyone speak very highly of Jeff including my father. Family always comes first I've had to turn down job offers that kids my age would kill for. But like you said family comes first. Just gotta keep praying for fair winds and full tanks.

Got it all worked out now and both ends. But I'll never make that mistake again

Got it all worked out bro no worries anymore. Merry christmas

Wow that's fucking terrible to hear you need a watch alarm on idc how badass of a skipper you are when you're up that many hours you need a watch alarm. Falling asleep at the wheel smfh, You're responsible for everyone's lives on that boat. I can't imagine how tough that shit must've been no crane, sorting table, or kingcoiler, all hand coiling and tanner taxis. I tip my hat to all you guys who've done it whether it's back in the day or now crabbing will break you down like no other job in the entire world. Second to none. But I bet you got some damn good elbow room stories from back then😂.

Yeah rog opies also cancelled and I agree garbage crab personally I like tanners the most then king too and those dungees are pretty damn good too when you're eating them fresh on deck. Tanners is open down in kodiak too double quota from last year, got 8.25 a pound from trident last year for tanners this year kodiak guys are going on strike it sounds like because they're trying to lowball with 4 bucks a pound even though there's no king on the market. Also only got 2.75 a pound for dungees this year. Those were the days back then I bet, did yall have a kingcoiler and sorting table? Love the aluetian beauty she's a beautiful boat and is the nordic venture now the new venture out of kodiak?

People turn their lives around all the time but I agree when you have an addiction like that serious its hard to come back and get clean and everyday must be a struggle and a fight of staying sober.

Hmu man. If you have quota for tanners you can still crab but yes king is officially cancelled this year. Just wondering what boat as I know a lot of the skippers out there. Sucks they shut kings down but if you have quota for tanners which my boat does you can still go get your quota. Gonna be good money in pot cod this year I'm doing that too on my boat

Yeah man he's a sketchy ex junkie but currently it is at my stepmothers property and I'm out of state crabbing. So he can't physically do anything to me he's just doing a bunch of empty threats. He's claiming the 700 is his but I don't think thats how it works.

To everyone who helped me and gave me advice thank you and all of you have merry Christmas seriously. And a happy new year. Yall have been a huge help I had no idea what to do. Now I realize I'm completely in my rights

Exactly. I'll tell him the only way he's picking it up is if he pays me the rest of the money

Roger that. I should have a title somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it but regardless the car is on my property currently.

For all I know he could've stolen parts off my car and is now asking for his money just to make a buck. The guy is an ex heroin/fentantyl junkie with face tats etc. Sketchy character and it was stupid of me to trust him and not sell to someone else.

You too man have a great Christmas and happy new years. Sounds like I'm completely within my rights from everything I've been reading on reddit. Thank you all for the help.

Roger that brother. I completely agree. Legally he is fucked

Thanks a lot for replying to me bro I was worried sick to be honest when he started threatening me.

Doesn't this sound like he's completely trying to scam me to get the car for half the price? That is what it seems like to me. If we go to court I will win I know he has no money for lawyers and I would counter sue him or win in civil court.
