Its super cool to see how the big seiners are built, I have more on this seiner and will post soon. Share your photos at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats

I woke up today with horrible news of a friend passing away, I’ve  lost a few friends lately and I guess it makes you realize how precious life is and to not sweat the little things.
