KUCB, C.E.M. Boat Harbor

Wishes came true last week for a girl facing a life-threatening medical condition when she was able to achieve her dream of meeting with the captains and crews of her favorite boats on the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch. The 18 year old girl and her mother came to Unalaska from their home in Wichita Falls, Texas with the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Port of Dutch Harbor Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB) coordinated with the foundation to assist the women in meeting with the captains and crews of the Northwestern and the Time Bandit crabbing vessels. Producers and film crews of the Deadliest Catch offered assistance during their stay, and community members Jimmer and Alyssa McDonald accommodated them and took the pair out crab fishing for a taste of what life is like on the island.
