It's the end of the season, and everyone is eager to wrap up operations. After one final push, the Opilio fleet plugs the holds, stacks the pots and heads for port. While the fishing has come to an end, the dangers of the Bering Sea persist. With full holds and iced-over decks full of pots, each boat risks tipping over while steaming back to port. Captains and crews batten down the hatches and hole up in their bunks. Back home in Seattle, the wives and children of the Northwestern crew wait with nervous anticipation. In the end, a teary-eyed reunion on the docks is the perfect way to cap off this long, bitterly cold, crab-fishing season.This title is episode 12 of season 2.
