It's an insurable risk, and one that should be paid for by a tax on crab, or a tax on fishing licenses (that goes into a fund) or something similar.

The CG (like any agency that has a mission to save people from disaster) really does not care about why someone is in trouble. It just wants to help.

If we take this principle too far, we might say that anyone who uses fire (gas stove?) should have to pay the fire department if his house burns. I mean, we all do, through taxes.

Anyway, if someone is drowning, and we might be able to save them, we are going to do it, cost be damned.

I figured I'd bump this, rather than start a new thread.

Phil Harris, captain of the Cornelia Marie, died of complications from the stroke he had in January. The guy was looking worse and worse over the last couple of seasons, and it finally caught up with him. He was relatively young (53), and it just goes to show how much these guys abuse their bodies.

I remember that season when Harris had a blood clot go through his heart. I wonder what will happen with the Cornelia Marie now.

This is sad news. It was obvious he was not doing well and over the past few seasons he just kept looking worse and worse.
