Just a few updates based on some social media pages out there. Wild Bill is on the SB in Dutch. Edgar is indeed on the NW. Jonathan Hilstrand is still fishing and has made posts hinting that he wanted to remain on the show but was forced off by producers. The season starts soon!

Very interesting. Why would producers block Jonathan? He was one of the favorites. I'm wondering if it is because of the firecracker incident that caused that deckhand to be maimed?

I can forgive the firecracker incident before Edgar's ugly actions. I would love to see Johnathan back.

The Time Bandit will miss king crab season according to Jonathan. He also said the boat is for sale for the right price.

The Time Bandit's main has blown up. Boat is for sale but I have a feeling something will come about it. An investor will buy into the boat for i say somewhere of 25-50% of the boat. I look at Josh and Casey. They got partners that brought in more quota for them. Along help pay for a massive overhaul on the boat itself. Maybe Kingcove knows more about that than I.
The whole Edgar thing I am still mythed about. Can't believe it. Hears hoping Jake quits acting like princess on the saga. Cringe worthy the way he talked to Keith when he was helping him. I see Monte maybe being with Bill this year as relief skipper or give Nick a shot learning.

Not surprising. Neither John nor Andy have heirs who are fishing. You can't expect them to just give a multi-million dollar operation away to Axel when they retire.
As for Jake not having a helper. I don't know how Lenny runs his business, but if I owned three (or is it four?) boats, each captain would know exactly where the other two were, and what they were catching. And no captain would be panicking allready after pulling the first string. All manufactured drama.

The Time Bandit's main has blown up. Wow. Seems like they only replaced them around 5 years ago, and almost immediately had a season ruined when the prop shaft broke. |

Looks like the NW and CM finished up in around 5 days and are back in port.

I expected Edgar to be on the boat fishing as he is part owner. I am going to be very disappointed if he is actually on camera, maybe it will be like with Norm. There but not part of the show. They've kind of replaced his story line with Mandy anyway, we all know how Discovery loves a legacy story!

Well saw a post on twitter from Mandy. Not sure how much love there is for Sig right now. Apparently in August he had a second heart attack. Whatever the the feeling are on Edgar; Sig might want to take a couple seasons off to get himself better

Maybe Sig will finally 'get it' and stop smoking. He is awfully young for 2 heart attacks in such short period of time. I lay the blame on his doctors. He should have been monitored more closely.

He must have recovered quickly, because in September he was on tour in Norway to sell NW merchandise.

Wow about the news on Sig. He really needs to listen to his body. I know how hard it is to quit smoking but 2 heart attacks and the stress from the fishing is more than what he can take right now. Maybe that is why Mandy is on the NW as I always thought she was going to be a Coastie.

Where are you getting the information about the NW? Is Edgar going to be on TV? I wrote to the show and advised them that if the NW is still featured on the show, they will be losing an entire house full of viewers!

So they are not affected by the shutdown this time? I believe only those that did not already have their permits in order are affected. It may affect groundfish fisheries where federal observers are needed. |

If Sig doesn't slow down he is going to be a dead man. Two coronaries in 3 years bodes poorly for his heart health. Every coronary leads to more heart death. He is heading for congestive failure and maybe a heart transplant if he doesn't wise up. That means he had better stop smoking!!!

The NW wrapped up Opies and will be headed back to Seattle shortly.
