Talking herring aboard a B.C. scientific survey vessel

摘要

A windy week of observing: There was very little going on for me in the fishing industry at the end of January. So when I had a chance to sail on a scientific survey vessel, I jumped on it.Michel Jutras was my skipper for five months of marine mammal observing in 2013. He was just coming off a food herring trip as a crewman on the seiner Denman Isle. We were to take a 60-foot former seiner, the Ocean Royal, up to Prince Rupert for a week of observing.
