Deadliest Catch

If you’ve been following along here at Heligirl for any amount of time you must know by now that I’m a bit of a Deadliest Catch fan. I’ve had the extreme pleasure to chat with many of the captains and crews on the show as well as the hard-working Discovery folks who put it together. […]

In keeping with the excitement this past week, where I got to go to CatchCon and take a ride on the Northwestern, here are some shots I haven’t posted yet:   Tweet

If you’ve been hanging around Heligirl for at least 11 months, you know I had the opportunity to attend CatchCon, the Deadliest Catch fan event, last year as a member of the press. I shared my experience here. Well, guess what? I got to go again this year as a last minute thing, and had […]

It’s cold, rainy, windy and miserable in a way that makes your bones ache. I recently got word my pals from Deadliest Catch returned home safe from Red King Crab season and it made me miss warm summer fun with pals. So in memory of t-shirt weather, here’s a shot of me with Jake Anderson […]

It’s official, I’ll be attending the Deadliest Catch’s CatchCon next weekend (May 1) to cover it for our own West Seattle Blog. I’m totally psyched on a couple of levels.

It was such a gorgeous day today we decided to go out and play. I asked Sweetness what she wanted to do and she expressedly announced that she very much wanted to “see the big boats.” Last week we took her down to Fisherman’s Terminal to see the big fishing, sail and other various boats […]
