PHIL AND JOSH HARRIS

We talk to Phil Harris, captain of the Cornelia Marie, and his son Josh. In Phil's 30th year of crab fishing, he has been joined by his sons on the Bering Sea and it's a bumpy ride in more ways than one. We ask the Harris clan about life at sea:

Q: Phil, how many years did you work as a deck hand before becoming a captain, and how many years have you been a captain?

PH: I started in 1976, and I was on deck for about five years. The opportunity came on my 25th birthday to run a boat for the first time. I was the youngest skipper to run a boat. So I ran it a little bit, and worked on deck the rest of the time. Over the next four to five years, I got more wheelhouse time and less deck time until I became strictly a captain, and that's been 21 years now.
