My skipper pal reckoned there were times they came back and owed the boat money! I said how come and this was his explanation.Yes Newlyn - couldn't remember the place. I did not see all of the last programme, so must remember to watch it this weekend. I found it interesting. I noted they were employing Eastern Europeans - Latvians if I recall. No or few locals wanted the job. Which dangerous seemed reasonably well paid as on one of the programmes the skipper was divvying up with the crew and hand got getting on for £1000 for five albeit hard and potentially dangerous days a sea. Maybe not so good all the time. Cheers.
The expenses come off the total, that's fuel , gear, repairs, food for the crew etc.
Then the boat takes half, of whats left of the value of the catch sold. That's the owner.
He got 2 parts as skipper
The experienced lads got 1 full part the guy who worked and cooked got a part and a half and the laddie got a half.
Times when they caught bugger all and went back for supplies, they owed the boat money!
