Who? 320 miles northwest of Dutch Harbor.
Is the 108 foot Cape Caution.
All right, here we go.
Get this trip rolling. Get started on this one.
I just want you to know for minutes you need to be out there.
Yeah, I'll be out there.
Captain wild, Bill Bukowski arrives back on the opilio grounds after a £135,000 offload.
You can see that the put magic marker around to kind of give an idea of where.
The swelling was definitely better than a week.
Ago, with greenhorn John Wolchek nursing a badly infected hand.
The captain is man down.
Gotta keep. My dressings up.
Got to keep the antibiotics up and hopefully get better and get back out on deck.
So. Not out of the woods yet.
We've had a ton of stuff go wrong and but with any luck, we'll get there this time.
All right, here we go.
Got a lot of gear to haul today, and we got a beautiful day to do it.
Oh, you.
Awesome. Yeah.
Where's the water?
They got no water in the front tank.
Now it's about half.
We just drove all the way from town.
With a swag tank.
Explain. Just forgot to turn it on.
Turn it back off again right now.
And not one person noticed and watched it.
The crab pumps weren't running.
Nice job Zach. You just never cease to amaze me.
I should have noticed it.
Partially filled or slack tank causes a dangerous weight shift as water sloshes from
one side to the other.
In rough weather, the imbalance can tip the boat too far in one direction and capsize the
vessel. A leading cause of sinkings on the Bering Sea.
Zach, I can't believe.
And I cannot believe one of you guys did not notice that there were the pumps weren't
turning on watch. You know what that tells me?
You guys are not doing a whale watch.
Call yourself bull, Sheriff sailors.
And you guys should be pretty proud of yourselves putting our lives on the line with
this. You guys suck.
All right, guys, it's not on you, so don't worry about it.
No it's not. It's my fault.
The skipper discovered the slack tank in time.
Get the water out of the tank.
Go make sure these pipes are in good shape.
But the plumbing inside of it may have been damaged.
I'm going to go down in the tank and take a look at the piping.
A lot of times that water will move around real violently and destroy the piping, cause
there's a lot of damage to the tanks.
Of course Bill is unhappy with us then, which he should be.
It truly amazes me that nobody caught it.
Not one of them guys got it down.
I mean, how many years of dirty got experience?
How many years is it? Nick?
Not one of these guys went in there and looked at those pumps.
Those pipes could just be pick up sticks down there, all broken in the bottom.
And we throw £70,000 of crab on there, 100 and some thousand dollars.
And we get in and they're all dead.
You can't have one broken pipe or you got dead crap.
Well, we got here, Zach.
The whole thing was the.
Water just dropped down.
Right here and it moved back and forth.
These brackets are old and broke.
I need to come up.
Yeah.
A couple the brackets broke on that pipe.
The big one? Yeah.
I'm thinking that I'm going to just cut a piece of chain.
I used the chain as a bracket and broke it up.
All right, so there's no breaches in the supplying water to the tank?
Negative. All right.
Well, get him hung up.
I guess the one pipe was loose and it sounds like it's an easy fix.
But we would have put a load of crap in there.
We would have got in with the tanks full of dead crap.
Every day. Something new, huh?
Good morning. Job gets better every day.
Is the Cape Caution.
We're back to hauling gear.
We got the problem fixed.
Some pipes come unhinged.
So Nick and Zach had to go down and reattach them.
After a morning of repairs.
Captain wild Bill and his team are back to hauling.
Tank full of crabs worth over 100,000 bucks.
We would have just gone ahead and put water in that tank.
It would have been a disaster.
We would have ended up with a tank full of dead crab.
That would have been a real heartache.
I would have probably gone to jail on that one.
Killing my kid.
Woo! That's what we.
Doop doop.
Doop doop. Cha ching.
We're we're catching crab right now.
This crab looks really good.
53 50350.
Roger.
Those are tank filling numbers right there.
I'm happy my dad's laughing.
And he's not going to murder us, so he's moved on.
Everybody down here can move on.
From this morning's mishaps and get back to doing what we do best.
And that's catch crab.
Luckily, we found the problem with the pipe before we put crab on it, but it doesn't
really downplay the mistake.
And in Jack's defense, everybody.
Everybody had an engine.
One thought one of these guys actually said, hey, is there a reason neither one of the
crab pumps are turning or the smoke?
Is there a reason there's no water coming out of the forward hatch?
Where's the water level? In that tank.
Come on. Not seen any water?
I always see water on deck.
There's always water coming out around the hatch.
Just two pots in the Cape.
Caution has another problem.
Coming out the hatch.
Is it not bolted down?
Okay. When the hatch is installed correctly and the pump is pumping correctly, there is.
Water coming out on the deck.
Why is there not water coming out on the deck?
Figure it out and fix it.
All right. We're going to lift it up.
I don't think that.
Myself and my crew started this trip off very good in the captain's eyes, but I myself
personally tightened this hatch down, so.
So what's.
Okay. I see a bunch of smirks on deck.
Here's the deal.
Just like if we have broken pipes in the tank, we have $100,000 worth of dead crap
because somebody didn't do their job.
So I don't want to see any shiny teeth about the fact that I had you guys install the lid
correctly.
Do I make myself clear?
Crystals.
