Hello all-
I finally got my cadet shipping billet last week and I'm going with Arctic Storm Management; an at sea processing company. I will be on the 340' Arctic Storm catcher/processor as a cadet engineer. The vessel departs from Seattle and steams north to Dutch Harbor and from there to the bearing sea to fish/process Pollock, cod and whiting. I'm excited for this opportunity, anybody have any experience with processing companies (i.e American seafoods, premier pacific etc.)? If so how was your experience? I will hopefully keep you updated with pics and what not on this 3 month endeavor.

R,
Matt
