Part documentary, part reality-television, the story of the Deadliest Catch’s Alaskan crab fishermen risking their lives in the Bering Sea to make a buck and feed their families has captivated the world. Giving the Finger follows the life of the spirited young captain who has emerged as one of the most talked-about figures on the show, Scott Campbell Jr., who leads the crew of the Seabrooke. As this book—a prequel to Junior’s ascent to fame—shows, the trials of crabbing are not limited to living at sea and working the most dangerous job on the planet, but carry over to family and friends, and are usually stormier than the Bering. Junior began his life as a fisherman in the shadow of his father, Scott Campbell Sr., and has struggled consistently to gain his own reputation as a captain. Arguably, one of the best fishermen working the waters today, Campbell Jr. has certainly done that, but not without sacrifice, of all sorts. Campbell has divorced and re-married the same woman three times, endured handicapping injuries and lost crew members to the icy waters of the north. Giving the Finger gives a first person account of these losses and the everyday fight for life and love, and shows that by hard work and perseverance, even a kid from Walla Walla, Washington, can become a star.

For current users of Timezero Professional v1, 2, 3, and Trident & Catch, you can save 50% on the brand new Timezero v4.1 Professional Upgrade. This upgrade will bring an unbeatable value to your navigation accuracy and workflow for only $375 ($700 MSRP). To redeem this offer email your TZ number to our Navigation Experts at chris@bluewaterweb.com. Offer ends June 30th.

With Timezero v4.1 Professional you can expect,

• RTZ Route Format Compatibility: TZ Professional v4.1 can import and export routes using the RTZ format commonly used with ECDIS. *This feature requires purchase of an S-63 Module.

• New AIS / ARPA List NavData: Each cell displays more information (Name or MMSI, Range, Bearing, Speed, Last Update time, CPA and TCPA). You can directly click inside the NavData to select the corresponding target on the chart and center the screen around it.

• New Filters for NavData: By default, this NavData will display the first 4 filters, but right clicking on the NavData allows to limit the number of filters to 2 or expand it to up to 8 filters.

• Updated Charts: Chart data is constantly updated to the best cartography available. You can save up to 200 routes with 500 waypoints each.

• High Resolution Weather & Tide Forecasting: It is now easier to display and combine various oceanographic and weather data by adding “data layers” to the new Ocean-O Control Panel. The Ocean-O Control Panel can be opened or closed (similar to the NavData) to give maximum space to the chart once setup is done.

• Augmented Reality: Thanks to the augmented reality cutting-edge technology, TZ Professional allows you to display the active route and cross track distance directly on the camera video feed. Identify all boats equipped with AIS system surrounding you and prevent any collision risk. Visualize instantly your route points and buoys on your HD video stream even in foggy weather.
