DCFan622424: How many amenities (like DVDs/comfortable beds) do you have on board?
Russell Newberry: I tell you, the Time Bandit is set up! It is a comfortable work vessel. Their entertainment center and DVD collection - they have no qualms about going out and buying 10, 20, 30 DVDs at a time. Sometimes we have a 2 day boat ride, and the bunks are set up in such a way as to make it very comfortable. It is a nice boat!
sexisade2: Hello I want to know are most of you guys single or married and if single is there a reason for it?
Russell Newberry: (laughing) Well again, I don't know the percentages. Me personally, I'm single .I've had several relationships, but my fishing escapades seem to get in the way. It seems it's hard for a woman to be patient and wait for these crab vessels to come home. Sometimes we're gone for 2-3 months, and that can wreak havoc on a relationship.
mynamehere: Do camera men ever help out on the boat? Also do they have a say in the kind of food that is brought on a trip?
Russell Newberry: They do help on the boat. You've got to remember that we are living in the same house, so to speak. So they have to pick up after themselves, they have to take a turn, do their own dishes and laundry. We're actually living together. As far as food, they usually eat what is cooked, or they cook themselves, or they go to the grocery store and bring whatever goodies they like to eat. The biggest thing was paper towels - the camera guys had to wipe down their equipment so we used a lot of paper towels.
siggirl: Hey Russell! If we wanted to send fan mail and make sure you or the other vessels get the mail where would we send it?
Russell Newberry: I'm not sure what the Time Bandit's home address is - you'd have to check online at www.timebandit.tv.
Discovery: Russell, thanks so much for being here to answer our questions! Is there anything you'd like to add, before we have to end the chat?
Russell Newberry: I'm glad that you guys watch the show and that people are interested in it. I've been waiting a long time, showing home videos, and I hope America continues to watch the show and they continue to eat more seafood! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to show you what I've been doing for the last 20 years. I find it interesting, and I hope everyone else does too.
