He is a trooper and I really enjoy watching his ship. But I don't know how many more trips out he's going to take. His habits are not going to impress too many cardiologists.

I am pumped about the new season. Doesn't it usually start in March? or April?

Is he the chain smoker?

Between him and Sid (of the Northwestern), be interesting to see who smokes more.

Phil's luck with that engine on his ship probably isn't helping matters either. Could have replaced it brand new 2 times over with the amount of money (and time) sunk in to repairs.

Good luck to Phil, wish him and his family the best.

smoking probably doesnt help, but he had blood clots, once you have one you are more at risk for developing more, my guess is he threw a clot to his brain.

If he was out at sea, getting necessary medical care would take hours in hopes to reverse the damage started with clot busting drugs. The typical needed time to inject those drugs is 3 hours, which is probably would be the time needed to get coast guard there.

Love the Phil and Godspeed captain!

They were actually off-loading at St. Paul island, so he was brought to the hospital there, then medivac out. That's what I read anyway. Lucky for him he wasn't 200 miles out to sea!! Wish him the best, but his habits might be catching up with him!!

My guess is the smoking is the reason he had blood clots too. I love watching the show and Capt. Phil, but he kind of over-did it with the smokes and Red Bull. In one of the shows he had 2 cigs going in his mouth at once.

Luckily they were docked unloading when it happened or else he would probably be dead.

All these guys that do this job look like they are burning the candle from both ends to do their jobs! If the sea doesn't get them, their life style will! frown I would really love to try going out with them for a day to pull up some crab just to be part of it. But one day would be about it! crazy

But, I bet they would be fun to go out and have a drink with!

It's a high octane job and it usually manifests itself with a high octane lifestyle. I honestly think the insane amounts of caffiene are worse for you than the smoking. But you can't sleep at the wheel, so there really aren't a lot of alternatives.

I wish him the best. You gotta love his heart, going right back out after the pulmonary embolism he had, which is often fatal.

An update from the Cornilia Marie HSOforum:

Posted on February 6, 2010 - by morgan

Capt. Phil makes progress toward recovery

Capt. Phil was talking to friends and family today; showing his greatest progress since he suffered a massive stroke one week ago. It’s been a long and difficult week for friends and family as Phil was medivaced from St. Paul Island and under went surgery.

Capt. Phil’s sons Josh and Jake have been at this hospital and continue to stay by their father’s side. Some Bering Sea fishermen have also come by to pay Phil a visit.

Meanwhile, the F/V Cornelia Marie has been back fishing for Opilios. The season has really just begun, so there’s much more fishing to do.

Great folks from around the world have sent their messages of encouragement and get-well soon greetings – for this, we will always be thankful. Many cards have been sent and they will all get to Phil as he recovers.

I would be surprised if he was ever able to go out again if he did indeed have a MASSIVE stroke....If you know anyone that's had one you know exactly what I mean...you're never the same again. Too bad, I really did like the guy. he was one of my favorites as I could relate to his struggle with bad habits AND his teenage sons that made him crazy. I'm pulling for him.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
