Re: "Deadliest Catch" last night
there is no make or break season any longer due to time restraint, its more of a hit or miss the crab will break your season,, no more free-for-all, there used to be like 250 boats now there is like 90, the ones that are left have quotas to fill,, thats it and their done.. makes their lives a lot easier and a bit less deadly.. still some crazy stuff...

The CG is tasked with search and rescue, it's their job, they voluteer for it. Some newby officer just had a hard on to get on the Discovery Channel.
That's a bit of a different situation. I'm guessing that the CG have been told to make their presence more obvious because of the show and tragic loss of Big Valley
