Captain Keith Colburn
In the winter of 1985, Keith was a Lake Tahoe ski bum looking for a change.
At the age of 22, Keith jumped on a plane with his lifelong best friend Kurt Frankenberg.
They landed in Kodiak, Alaska with no experience, a tent and $50 dollars.
Spurred on by the romantic vision of working at sea and the rumour of big paydays, Keith was determined to try something new and exciting.
He started as a true greenhorn on the Alaska Trader, a 135 foot crabber/tender.
