Pastor dreams of converting Dutch Harbor bar into shelter for “Deadliest Catch” inspired greenhorns
This video is about a Dutch Harbor Pastor’s dream of converting a closed bar into a shelter for guys trying to get a fishing job. The bar happens to be the notorious “Elbow Room”, a well-know bar that carried a “wild west” reputation in Dutch Harbor. I remember at 14 years of age going to the Elbow Room with the rest of the guys. At that age, I had still heard many stories about this infamous place. I sneaked a few drinks of beer and really felt like I was living on the edge. I returned back to the boat early in the evening with the old man, who never really drank more than a beer. The rest of the crew stayed out and we didn’t seem them again until morning. The next morning I really quizzed the guys for details of the evening, but barely got any words out of them since they were so hungover. They said things got crazy, there were fights and somebody got stabbed.
I also remember guys walking the docks looking for jobs. I don’t remember the old man every hiring a guy from the dock – you’re just taking a huge chance. The news story talks about these guys who come out for the work, but find themselves stranded and with no money.

F/V Cornelia Marie still fishing
Christmas is coming, but the boys are still fishing. We’re one of a handful of boats still fishing for Red King Crab in the Bering Sea. It’s been a rough season… repairs, bad weather and poor fishing has led to a long, hard season for the Cornelia Marie. Our buyer says they won’t buy any Crab after December 17th – so the clock is ticking. Hopefully, this week we’ll finish up our quota and the guys can go home for Christmas.
But, the break won’t be long because the Opilio season starts January 15th.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. The F/V Cornelia Marie is in Dutch Harbor. We had to stop in for repairs We can’t head back out just yet because the weather here is bad.
Our mechanical problems have caused us to unfortunately extend our King Crab season. It’s been a longer than normal King Crab season for us, but hopefully it will be over with one more trip.
Tomorrow is an all day “Deadliest Catch” marathon on Discovery Channel. See you there.
