News from the North;First Post

This is the first time I have ever done anything like this so bear with me as I try to figure out what I am doing!! The main reason I am attempting to do this is to keep all those who are interested in the activities of my family informed. I had heard of blogs but did not really know what they were about until I started searching the internet for information on the Alaskian King Crab season. My son Peter is on a crab boat somewhere in the Bering Sea working as a Observer contracted to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Not having any contact with him since mid-October has been hard so I have tried to find any information I can on the internet about this years crab catch, the boat he's on which is featured on the Discovery channel show "Deadliest Catch", Bering Sea weather, etc. Many more people than I realized have expressed interest in how he is doing so in searching for information I stumbled on a blog by someone calling herself the fish wife http://thefishwife.blogspot.com/ Her blog contains a lot of the kind of information I was looking for so I owe her a big thank you..check it out. Till next time send calm thoughts our way...especially Pete's way!! Steve
