Captain Sam

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Captain Sam was bought by the federal government for $517,000 in a fleet-reduction buyout program. The buyout was not for the boat itself, but for its right to fish. The owner was then left to dispose of the vessel as he saw fit.
