Farewell Captain Phil!

One of our all-time favorite shows on TV is Deadliest Catch on The Discovery Channel. We have watched now for several years as the captains and crew battle the Bering Sea to bring crab to the world. In a small way we could relate because of Steve's fishing experiences. He wasn't on the Bering Sea, but certainly battled some of those Alaska storms himself!
One of our favorite captains was Phil Harris of the F/V Cornelia Marie. (Here's their website addy - www.corneliamarie.com.
A couple of years ago Phil had a very serious illness involving blod clots that nearly killed him. Ever since then we have followed the ship's blog and news. Sadly today the news was released that our dear Captain Phil had a massive stroke on January 27 and passed away a few days later. We will miss him terribly!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his sons Jake and Josh, to the F/V Cornelia Marie crew and to all of Phil's friends and family members. God bless you all!
