Hi Al Gagnon,
those were great days.1975 through 1981-82.
Lucky Strike with the Magellons ..during the strike when the whole fleet circled SD bay in protest of the regulations.
Sea Hawk with Johnny Dutra for several years. Great guy, drove his Mercedes off of Sunset Cliffs.
Uncle Louie with Pedro Garces and the Castagnolas.. we caught a lot of fish.
I quit when all the boats were going to Samoa and way the hell down there and no one ever came home.
It really is a shame we lost that industry.
The American boats were really the only ones that tried everything to protect the porpoise.
Hope to meet you down there.David ( not Portuguese) ;o)
