Episode Synopsis

Hazardous seas make for a rough start to crabbing season
Today is the first day that Dungeness crabbers in OR and WA can pull their pots, baited traps they set to "soak" in the ocean on Monday in the hopes they will be full of crab today.
But the weather has chosen to make things difficult for fishermen at sea today: the National Weather Service issued a Hazardous Seas Warning for area waters. We'll talk about what that means for people who have to work in these turbulent conditions.
