Capt. Phil

We have been watching since the first season, been to both CatchCons and living in Seattle, and having a boat, you can go out to Ballard and if your lucky the Northwestern and the Wizard will be docked there.

A lot of other ships are there too, North American, Aleutian Ballad, Fierce Alliegance, the Billiken etc.

The season before the show started, on the 4th of July, we were cruising around and got flagged down by a guy on a dock. He asked if we could take him back to his fishing boat. Sure why not. It turned out to be the Wizard. He asked if we wanted to watch the show from the deck, so, Keith, before he was famous, let us watch the show.

If anyone is interested, here are pictures from catch con.

The first one, in 2009, Capt Phil was there, but on a break when we tried to get his autograph.
