New items in CM Store
After many blogs about Phil’s health, I thought I would give the Captain a break. So, we have new items in the store! Check them out and let me know what you think. Basically, we just stock items that people ask for… and that our guys actually wear. Jake stopped by the office the other day to pick up some new CM gear… so I made him pose for a couple shots. BTW-the pictures in our store are either Cornelia Marie crew or fans, so send in your photos. Send them to:

Captain Phil and CM website alive and well
On Tuesday, we had many people visit our site to learn about the health status of Captain Phil. So many, that our web hosting company decided to drop us off their server. I apologize that many of you came to our site only to find an error page. I am very unhappy and displeased about the service I have received from LunarPages.
Meanwhile, Captain Phil is doing just fine. Of course, he is still monitoring his health and is on medication. But, if you’re in Oregon this weekend – you can see for yourself how he is doing. Check below.

Article explains how Captain Phil nearly died this season
“In a scene to be shown later this season, a monster wave pummeled his boat in January, causing him to fall out of his bunk. He punctured a lung and broke his ribs. But his condition worsened after a blood clot dislodged from his leg and traveled to his heart.”
Read the full article here. I think the premiere episode debuts in the United Kingdom and Canada today. Do you folks already know what is going to happen (from the internet) or do you wait to watch the episodes as they come out?

It appears the word is out… Captain Phil faced a fatal situation this season, but we don’t know when or what episode it will show up on. In fact, he’s still not fully recovered as of today. But, let Captain Phil tell you in his own words what really happened… after the jump is a video from a WGN TV9 interview he did in Chicago with Keith Colburn.
Here is the summary by Discovery Channel of Tuesday new episode:

TV-14 (L)A mechanical breakdown presses Northwestern’s Edgar to make a dangerous repair. Meanwhile questionable counting makes Sig lose his temper. Hard work separates the greenhorns on Wizard. On Cornelia Marie, Phil’s health is failing and impacts the crew.

Fishing boat sinks near Dutch Harbor, Four lives lost
We found out over the weekend that the 184 foot, F/V Alaska Ranger sunk about 120 miles west of Dutch Harbor early Sunday morning. Our prayers go out to the families. One of the four people who lost their lives was the Captain, Eric Peter Jacobsen, 65, of Lynnwood, Wash
KIRO TV in Seattle interviewed the Captains adult children. News story here.
They said there must have been something terribly wrong for a boat of that size to sink and they would like to know the details. Yes, I agree. The weather was not rough and something strange must have happened for them to take on water so fast. Usually, when a boat takes on water – there is enough time to be rescued before having to abandon ship.
The F/V Alaska Ranger was a factory trawler and not one of the fishing boat in the F/V Cornelia Marie crab fishing fleet. This was a large vessel with 47 people on board. It drags a large net (trawl) from the stern of the vessel to catch its fish. Once caught, the fish are processed and frozen right there aboard the ship. These guys stay out at sea for along time and it’s not an easy job.
More details can be found here.

Cornelia Marie featured in XBOX 360 Game
The title of the game is, “Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm”. It’s an immersive and challenging experience, putting the players at the helm of one the world’s most dangerous jobs — that of a crab boat captain in the icy Bering Sea.
“Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm” lets gamers captain their own boat in the frenzied search for an undersea jackpot. Gamers select one of five real crab boats, including the Northwestern, Cornelia Marie and Sea Star — all featured on the series, or create and customize their own boat. Gamers then recruit and lead their own crew from a roster of twenty real crab fishermen; including Captain Phil, Jake and Josh Harris.
Selecting the wrong boat or recruiting the wrong crew member can mean the difference between landing a Bering Sea jackpot or disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking crew in the strategic search for King Crab and Opilio Crab, while battling to secure your catch and livelihood before other captains and crews get to the crab first. Of course, you best bet is to go with the F/V Cornelia Marie and it’s crew!
