Wow. Talk about a gamble. For Jake A. and Freddy to consider leaving boats that consistantly pay big, to go over to the CM. Crazy talk. It will be interesting to see what unfolds.

Just read this morning that Josh has put the pieces together and indeed is the owner of the Cornelia Marie as of today. I wonder who will run the website on his and the boat's behalf. Josh mentions that he is going to be tendering Herring and Salmon followed by a trip to Seattle to do $500K in repairs. As we all know the boat has been used for tendering over the past 2 years but nothing more. Over the summer he will work on his licenses, as well as put a crew together for crab season in the fall. The source is from Josh himself in several interviews on line at Zap2it.com blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/05/deadliest-catch-josh-harris-gets-cornelia-marie-and-a-baby.html I am surprised he isn't licensed, but perhaps he wish to see if he could finance he CM first. Edited by MBG to include a link for the interview.

Ok..here is the sraight scoop. The CM is in King Cove and I just personally spoke with the current skipper about an hour ago. Josh has purchased 70% of the CM and Jake bought 30%. Josh could not purchase the full 100% due to some stipulation left in the trust by Phil. Cornelia Devlin is holding a portion of the financing. Their insurance company will not allow Josh to run the boat until he gains some experience. The boat purchase did not include any crab quota,and they are looking for quota to lease.
The skipper that intends to be on board for a while is Casey McManus. I'm not sure of his experience,but do know that he was on the Billikin for a very long time as the chief engineer and has some experience running crab boats. Casey intends to help Josh get some experience in the wheelhouse,although Josh is not on board now. He thinks that in a couple years,if they can get some crab quota,Josh may have the experience to run the boat. They are getting ready to tender herring in Togiak,then tender salmon in Bristol Bay.
Jake is is still dealing with his addiction issues.

King Cove, as far as I'm concerned your info on this situation might as well be coming from God's mouth. Jake Harris was able to buy 30% of the CM. That is actually not good news at this point in time, because it seems to indicate he has the finances to continue his addiction spiral.
Oh, and I think I can speak for the entire board when I say thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing legitimate information with us.

King Cove, you're the best!! Great info! I would guess that Jake's 30% can't be touched by him, as far as cashing out for his drugs, since the trust had some stipulations that Josh couldn't buy it. Mrs. Devlin is extending the arm of trust pretty far out there! I don't think Josh could have come up with the $$ otherwise.

KingCove, do you think that Josh is hoping that Discovery will pony up some money to help them? I am still amazed that the Harris Brothers could come up with that kind of money even with Ms. Devlin holding the note. The CM can't go crabbing without quota and where would they get that?

I can't say what Josh is hoping. To obtain quota,they would either have to buy or lease it. To buy is expensive if you can find anyone that wants to sell. And to lease it,there is a lot of competition out there for leasing quota,so it will be difficult to get hold of until the TAC gets larger.

After reading the book, "Captain Phil Harris," I'm not at all surprised that Jake is dealing with addiciton issues. Children have a way of following in their parent's foot steps. Since Phil spent a good deal of his life engaged with alcohol and substance abuse, Jake is just doing what his father did. He probably is counting on the fact that he will still be able to function despite his addiction because his father did so successfully. The book is a real eye-opener!! It is amazing the chaos and strife Josh and Jake had to deal with in their young lives. It is equally amazing that Josh is able to move forward - he must have a remarkable amount of inner strength. Let us pray for both of the boys.

I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment, bentwillow. Jake watched his dad be "functional" with his addiction issues, and basically thought it would be able to work that way for him. How could he have not fallen in with drugs and alcohol? As for Josh, whatever his many faults, I have nothing but respect for how he completely absolved Phil of his bad parenting when Phil was on his deathbed. I don't know too many people who can forgive that openheartedly, and Phil had definitely wronged Josh even more than Jake.
Definitely praying that both those guys make it.

Years ago, I read an interview that said they paid the various boats' gas money, and some extra to cover things like their cameramen's food, etc. This was before the series had really taken off (probably season 2 or maybe season 3). I'm sure the captains get separate fees now, and probably the Harris brothers as well, but I have never been able to chase down any numbers. Any else?

All I've been able to get from anyone I've talked to is one owner told me that the boat gets paid "a little bit",and that it's up to the owner how to split the money.

This program has become very popular and I would hope all captains and crew are fairly compensated.

Cornelia Marie salmon tendering crew is back in King Cove and preparing to tender salmon with Casey in the wheelhouse. They will start in Bristol Bay. The boat looks pretty good. I was able to get up close to it in the harbor the other day to get a good look while it was tied up and the crew out of town.It has had some work done since the last time I got a close look, and it looks pretty good.

KingCove, is that definite about the Harris boys or just Josh talking? Has anyone been able to confirm the sale? Last I heard, the CM still had one owner listed and that was Ms. Devlin. The post by Josh is the only place that I have seen (or anyone could confirm) where he claims to own the CM.
I will be honest, IF josh gets the CM, I really would hope that DC would not feature her. I am so sick of the whole nonsense concerning the Harris boys. Besides, Josh would whine and cry and blame everyone but himself if it fails.

I thought I heard a couple of seasons back that Nick has his own boat that he tenders. He lost a crewman one year. It was talked about on the NW.

I have heard that Edgar runs it part of the time KingCove - not to be greedy or anything, but if you get another chance to get close to the CM could you take a photo for us? It would be reassuring to see that she is being kept up and looked after. The name McGlashin rings a bell somewhere - was he on ATC? Thank you for helping us keep up with things.

Just found this board after no DC message boards. Thanks ! I just read the book on Phil Harris, which he had apparently had half finished before his death. I loved Phil but if you read that book you will be amazed Josh and Jake came out as normal as they are. Phil was never sober - drinking vodka and drugs the boy's entire childhood. Their first memories were of him drinking and using drugs-sad. Accoring to the book, PhiL was fired from one boat when he was discovered passed out drunk parked at Dutch Harbor by the boat owner. Tony Lara quit the CM due to Phil's severe drinking. The day he hired Freddy he came back after picking him up at the airport to discover Phil fell in the water drunk coming from a bar and almost drowned. Phil some how won custody of the kids in the divorce from their Mom when Josh was appx.8 and Jake was 5 and he did not allow them to see or have any contact with their mother for 15 years. They lived with his second wife Teresa, who had a severe drinking and drug problem and was physically and verbally abusive. Phil, who was afraid of wife wife taking everything in a divorce allowed her to throw Josh out of the house and did not speak to him for 3 years after Josh told him she was cheating on him. Jake was also apparently out of the house at 14. Alcohol and drugs are inherited. After reading the book it is no surprising. I hope Jake can recover - I think he can be a get fisherman if clean and sober. Sorry for the long post. Glad to find you guy !
she was having an affair. I also read Jake was forced to leave at 14.

Geez, maybe people wanted to read the book on their own and not have you spoil the whole thing?
Besides which there's actually a thread on here about the book, and this ain't it.
