    Captain Andys life is amazing to me. I think it would be awesome to have a on the edge job that you ROCK at and then a ranch life of such a country setting total opposite worlds and that is just amazing and truely the best of both worlds!

    I used to train cutting horses, so I love that Andy is a horse trainer. I am familiar with his techniques so that really endears him to me. While my favorite boat is the Northwestern, the Time Bandit gang is a very close second. I also love the most recent prank that they played on the Cornelia Marie gang. That was priceless!! Good Luck Andy!! I'm gonna be rooting for your gang the whole season!
