From Dungeness Crabber
to Deadliest Catch
RUSSELL NEWBERRY TALKS ABOUT THE “WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS JOB”
With over 20 years of experience battling the perilous, icy water of the Bering
Sea, Russell Newberry is no stranger to the
frigid conditions and unforeseen risks of the
Alaskan King crab fishing season—
considered even more dangerous than the already
extremely hazardous average commercial
fishing job. He’s weathered treacherous
storms and freezing temperatures, suffered
body-crushing work conditions, and volatile
crew conflict, all in search of a treasured
bounty of Alaska King crabs.
Now, the swashbuckling deckhand
of Discovery Channel’s hit documentary/
reality series %FBEMJFTU;$BUDI—a show
chronicling the real-life events aboard fish-
ing vessels in the Bering Sea—makes his
debut at the Vancouver International Boat
Show. With two daily sessions, Russell will
meet and greet fans, sign autographs and
share tales of what it’s really like to risk it
all in the world’s most dangerous job.

level of BC Place:

Duma, the world-famous wakeboarding dog is cruising into town—life-vest,

Duma first found her sea legs while
cruising down the Chicago River in the
lap of her owner, Cliff Bode, who thought
it would be fun to place her front paws
up on the steering wheel. To his amazement—and the amusement of onlookers
snapping photos from the shore—she
liked being up there.
Ever since, Duma has become quite
the skilled skipper! Outfitted in her life
jacket and goggles, she uses her front
paws to steadily steer the boat and has
even transformed her passion for sailing
