Sidewinder, what happened to Captain Phil?

ned.... ned ryerson!

He's all fucked. Lots of stuff is kept out of the news, but they had to cut out some of his brain and hes paralyzed. No one knows the extent of the paralysis, but it's pretty bad. He had a major stroke about 500 miles away from ANYTHING, he's lucky to be alive really. Lesson learned - when you are in extremely high risk of stroke, stop smoking, stop snorting drugs, stop drinking and dont travel far distances from hospitals.



I hope he pulls, he's not THAT bad of a guy. But he was warned by his doctors...

Captain Phil died today at age 53...

Yeah, total bummer... :( I was hoping he'd come through... He was a decent dude and even though his new z06 was slower than my supercharged c5, I still thought he was a pretty cool dude out of the bunch. We've been having a lot of deaths in the fishing industry lately, very weird... lots of folks I know keep dying!

Well, duh! It's the waters.

That looks like a hard life.. Most people in my trade only make it to early 50's as well. Stress, toxic chemicals and poor diet from long on the road work shifts seems to be the most common causes of most guys I have witnessed kick the bucket to early in age. Which is why I am trying to change my profession slowly.

But on that boat, nothing to see but water, the chain smoking is really a problem on top of the asinine antics of crew members f'ing up the business of fishing.
