Fred,
Yes, travelled to Gdansk, Poland in early 2005 to oversee final conversion to our needs, ( vessel was formally a shrimp trawler) and return to Nova Scotia. We are a large offshore factory Trawler that harvests deep sea scallops, mainly in the North Atlantic about 110 nm SW of our home port of Shelburne N.S. Twenty-seven crewmembers including officers. Our last trip total was approx. 181,500lbs of scallops. We are on a sixteen day on sixteen day off rotation twelve months of the year, with a two week Christmas break. Have been Captain onboard this and other company vessels for the last eleven years, only ten more to go
. Any questions you have about our operation I will gladly answer. The link below will bring you to our company website.

Re: New Member
Must feel weird coming home to one of our little boats after being responsible for that giant and all those folks on board.
Thanks

Re: New Member
Fred,
Not weird, actually very enjoyable, although some of our friends question our sanity, being that I spend over 180 days a year at sea to come home and set foot on another vessel. Currently at sea and will return July 2nd; plans have already been made to leave later that afternoon for a couple of days of R & R. It a very nice feeling to not have to worry about crew safety, production schedules, maintenance periods,
all that is associated with work. As far as being a giant,( really not that big, LOA 150' Beam 44' 1100tons) it's just a boat, pointy at one end square on the other. I have learned long ago that the key to handling most ships is patience and a cognizant awareness of your surroundings. I am fortunate enough to have very capable department heads working alongside, they make things easy.
cheers, Capt. Happy
