When I was transitioning out of gillnetting, I went out as an at-sea-observer for a year.
I had a lot of fun, Archipelago hated me, it was all good.
The Newf crew was aboard the Westerly.
I did a number of trips aboard and learned about such delicacies as salt pork or beef with cabbage, roast bologna with pineapple rings and texas toast with two inches of Cheez Whiz on it.
The texas toast and cheez whiz was actually eaten to prevent us taking a crap, the previous observer had burned out the macerator pump in the head by attempting to flush a feminine hygiene product, a new macerating pump was on order, but did not make it before our trip.
There was a whole community of newfoundlanders living at the trailer park in Port Hardy back in those days. Good times!!
