Deadliest Catch surfing Time Bandit Style
Time Bandit surfs through False Pass
Did you watch last night’s episode of Deadliest Catch? The first 10 minutes featured the F/V Time Bandit facing big waves. The night shots of the Time Bandit traveling through the waves was amazing – footage that really doesn’t exist anywhere else. When the sun rose, Capt. Johnathan and his brother deliberated about whether to go through “False Pass” while the seas were high. Of course, they could have waited for the weather to come down but most skippers hate waiting for anything.
I have been through False Pass many times on the Cornelia Marie. However, I have never experienced False Pass like the Time Bandit did last night. If you look at the image above, you can see a 25 foot wave breaking behind the boat – that’s crazy.
It was a good idea to have the whole crew in the wheelhouse watching for the navigation buoys. This is a realistic situation that I have been in many times. When the seas are high and the tide is strong, it’s hard to see those buoys. When I was young, I felt great when the Old man would always ask me to come up and help him look for buoys when traveling through narrow passes. It was only years later that I found out he was partially color blind and had a difficult time distinguishing between the red and green buoys.

I’ve never seen this show, although I’m pretty sure I would dislike it. It seems like one of those shows that gets hyped up for nothing.

Well, the show is called “Deadliest Catch” for a reason. The seas can be very treacherous sometimes. It’s a good thing you were there for your old man during those times you had to sail through those passes! Not being able to distinguish the buoys from each other must have been tough.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

@Dave: it’s not your typical reality show. True, it does follow non-actors, but what they do is extraordinary. You should give it a chance…

Looks like neat show. I’ve got a lot of respect for people who make their living on the ocean. It’s a tough and dangerous place. I was on a biggish boat some years ago on maybe 10-12 foot waves and that was big enough for me! Thanks for sharing.

That episode going through South Pass was better than any action movie produced. My stomach would lurch not knowing which way the stern would fall off the wave. Cheers for the camera crew.
