The Wheelhouse, Episode 1. A captain, his boat, and a number he logged himself: 10,787 hours.
Every week we're putting one working captain in this spot: his name, his water, his words. Nobody starts a series like this with a stranger, so Episode 1 belongs to Capt. Anthony Bianco Jr, the offshore tuna captain who has been running DuraBrite fixtures long enough to publish his own hour count. "Our have been 100% reliable. Since day one, Zero issues. 10,787hrs." His words.
He fishes at night where the corners of the boat decide everything, and he once watched a bigeye go airborne on a chain in the lights because the crew could see straight down into the dark water. That's the kind of story this series is for.
