Cornelia Marie Devlin and Capt. Phil’s Visit Anchorage (wrap-up)
Captain Phil Harris and Cornelia Marie Devlin, co-owners of the FV Cornelia Marie, appeared at the recent Fourth of July “Alaska Aviation Museum Salmon Bake & Fly By”. According to Emilie Saunders from the Museum, this year’s event was the most successful ever with over 700 in attendance.
This was Cornelia Marie’s first public appearance and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. During the course of the weekend she and Captain Phil had dinner with raffle winners at Humpy’s, rode in the parade, and signed autographs. The pair both enjoyed flying in the museum’s Grumman Goose. There are only about 20-30 of this make and model still in operation. (photos provided by Heidi DuFresne and the Alaska Aviation Museum) (more…)

July 4th with Capt. Phil and Cornelia Marie
Capt. Phil Harris and Cornelia Marie Devlin will be spending their Fourth of July at the “Alaska Aviation Museum Salmon Bake & Fly By”. This is a charity event to help raise money for the museum. Talk about your fearless men – the early bush pilots in Alaska were quite the guys.
Also, there is a raffle currently underway which presents the prize of having dinner with Capt. Phil and Cornelia Marie at Humpy’s in Anchorage. (Good food there).
This will be the first time my mother will do a public appearance. As you may know, Cornelia Marie Devlin owns the boat with Capt. Phil.

Deadliest Catch Preview for tonight, Capt. Phil not happy.
Why is our boat always breaking down! Of course, I knew about the troubles we had this winter but it’s hard to watch – very frustrating.

F/V Cornelia Marie at Island Seafoods in Kodiak
One lucky guy from Island Seafoods had the pleasure of chatting with Josh Harris and Captain Murray of the Cornelia Marie last week after returning from tendering herring in Togiak Bay.
“Josh and Capt. Murray are busy getting the boat ready to head back up to Bristol Bay to tender salmon in the fast and furious Sockeye Salmon fishery. The boat will leave Kodiak in five days. Before the boat heads up to the Bay, Josh and Capt. Murray are going to fly down to San Diego to film the ‘After the Catch’ episode tomorrow. There the guys will meet up with Capt. Phil Harris, his younger son, Jake and the rest of the captains from the Discovery Channel’s hit show.”
Among other juicy tidbits, he also discovered that while Captain Murray will be running the boat for the summer season, Josh is headed to New York to participate in some Discovery Channel events and help promote the show and industry.
To view more details and tons of great pictures from Island Seafoods chat with Captain Murray and Josh aboard the Cornelia Marie, check out the Island Seafoods blog HERE. All I know is suddenly I have an urge to get a job with Island Seafoods…

Capt. Phil of the Cornelia Marie is back on the Deadliest Catch!
You can’t keep a good man down! Capt. Phil is back in his favorite chair as the skipper for the F/V Cornelia Marie. At the start of the King Crab season, Phil’s doctor said he wasn’t ready yet to go back out to sea. Phil was forced to sit out and let relief skipper Murray Gamrath take the helm for the season.
In early January, at the start of the Opilio season – Capt. Phil re-joins the crew!

Capt. Phil and boys on Larry King Live
Ever wonder if Captain Phil gets scared out there on the Bering Sea? Do the guys ever get sea-sick? How about falling overboard? Check out this YouTube video from an appearance on Larry King Live back on April 11, 2009 and get the inside scoop. Captain Phil, Josh and Jake Harris talk about why it seems that most fans of Deadliest Catch are not fisherman, the scariest moments in the life of Alaskan Fisherman and some of the reasons they do what they do! See clips from last season and the Cornelia Marie crew on Larry King Live. What do you think makes the Deadliest Catch such a popular show, especially among people who aren’t a part of the fishing industry? If you could ask Captain Phil, Josh or Jake one question – what would it be?
