While in Seattle last week for Pacific Marine Expo, Deckboss naturally took time to go check out the boats at Fishermen's Terminal in Ballard.
Above is the Blue North, a 174-foot cod freezer longliner built in 1945.
At right is the Optimus, a gleaming new combination boat.

The Blue North, retired as too expensive to rebuild to meet current Coast Guard requirements (ACSA).
Optimus obviously sends a message. It is a bet tho, on the come. The big seasons have already been had. Good luck to all who fish her.
I see squid lights! It appears to me the Optimus will do whatever it takes.
Exquisite piece of machinery JB, she'll come in handy on non limit years! Beautiful boat.
