Capt. Phil recovering from surgery
Last night Capt. Phil underwent surgery. Both of his sons, Josh and Jake were at his side. Josh flew in from St. Paul to join his brother. It may be some time before we know anything substantial about Phil’s condition.
Thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes and prayers for Phil, his family and the Cornelia Marie crew.
An old family friend of the F/V Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray flew to St. Paul to take on the role of relief skipper for the rest of the Opilio season.

Dear Captain Phil,
I look forward to the new season of Deadliest Catch, although it won’t be the same without you, Jake, & Josh. Your health is a priority, & as someone who’s recently suffered a heart attack, I understand the importance of being surrounded by family & friends during such a difficult time.
Take care of yourself. I will say a prayer for you & your family, & I look forward to [hopefully] seeing you next season. Best wishes to the crew of Cornelia Marie.
