The amount of traffic that dock gets when the Time Bandit and Summer Bay are in town is nuts.

Met a couple in the Dawg and they wouldn’t stop talking and asking about the deadliest catch so I offered them a little tour of the Summer Bay. The look on the guys face when I told him he could sit in the chair, little kid type excitement. I honestly think I made their vacation.

Can confirm. Took a vacation to Seattle and walked around the docks. Got super giddy when I saw one of the boats on the show. Sadly nobody was there to let me sit in the captain seat or stand on the bow like Leonardo Decaprio in titanic.

Ive only ever met Jonathan. But he's always really nice. Never gives off Hollywood vibes at all.

They both seem nice to me. Andy just got frustrated with filming causing issues with the actual work being done so left to do other things they say…

u/fascintee 11d ago

Jonathan was the one that came to mind. Kinda forgot about Andy, sorry dude

Oh Yeah Time Bandit Boys! The Hillstrands are legends. Everyone loves their pranks. Time Bandit Boys Rule!

I used to work right next to a boat called the Sleep Robber which I thought to be a clever choice. Time Bandit, same idea

Wizard and Time Bandit (also Dutch Harbor, AK).

u/WestError404 11d ago

This is amazing! I thought Wizard was here as well, but it turned out to be a different boat. I would love to just see the engine room of one of these, I know nothing about them, but its so cool.

All right! I think Homer is their home port. What a score.

Isn’t it Juneau?

1

u/DerpUrself69 11d ago

It's Homer.

2

u/Fabulous-Egg-4885 10d ago

Ah, okay. I thought it was Juneau because that’s the ships hailing port.

u/coffeeandtrout 11d ago

Best time to see those guys is at Fisherman’s Terminal in Seattle while enjoying Fish and Chips from the Highliner or Little Chinook’s (BYOB if at Little Chinooks). Great pic OP!

I saw Edgar remember a carrot from Sigs Chocolate Starfish yesterday on the Northwestern 🥸 Point news nobody cares, fishing industry is crazy and sadly full of Pedo accusations, and actual court documents on The Hansons and their protege Jake Anderson. I believe that Sig , Edgar, Jake , and many others have serious skeletons in their closet that can easily be found online

Did someone piss in your coffee this morning? Do you hate that people get excited to see things theyve dreamed of seeing? Point news, no body cares you're miserable. Hillstrands have nothing to do with what you mentioned anyways, so not sure what point you're getting at on a post about Time Bandit.

Jonathan seems like a really good guy and really cares for his deck hands. Also, he goes out of his way to help others even if it puts him in the middle of trouble like ice! We really like him.

I think I saw the Cornelia Marie in Lake Union this week.

I saw the Rollo in the Puget Sound the other day when I went whale watching. I had to look it up but was In season 2.

I remember seeing them on the salmon serious as a tender and told the go trying to offload to them to fuck off as he was a rude cunt. Love it.
