DOCUMENTARY: Bering Sea Crab: jeff

Crewman Jeff Newton braces as a wave splashes over the side of the crab fishing vessel "Kiska Sea" as it fishes for opilio crab in the Bering Sea in January and February of 1995. Also known as freezing spray, waves and wet sea air slam into the boat freezing on impact causing ice to cover the boat. Newton is carrying a sledgehammer which he is using to beat the ice off the sides of the boat. Boats covered in ice become top heavy and are in danger of rolling over. © Karen Ducey
