Stuck in Dutch Harbor and eating lunch

 Ralph and I made it to Dutch Harbor and looks like all flights this evening are going to be cancelled. All checked in to the Grand Aleutian Hotel.

We are sitting in the resturant and our neighboting table is the Sig Hansen (from the F/V Northwestern and Deadliest Catch) family and some boat crew members. 

But guess what folks, they are doing the same things you and I do at a family lunch. Eating, laughing, joking, and enjoying each other. They all are cordial and friendly and deep down just people.

As professional courtesy I introduced myself, I thought introducing Ralph might be a stretch. I told him who I was and what I was doing in Dutch. Since he is currently filming for Deadliest Catch, we wanted him to see what we were going to post to verify we would not be doing anything contrary to his contractual obligations. He approved the text and offered to get a family member to take our picture.

Ralph and I are sharing this to remind all of ya’ll that they are “just folks”.

Special thanks to the Hansen family and crew.

Follow them on Deadliest Catch!

Remember, take care of yourself and each other.

T and Ralph
