Factory and Crew

My observer station is at the far end of the factory, adjacent to the sorting belt which is the first part of processing. At randomly predetermined intervals I give the signal and the guys on sorting line help me collect baskets of fish for sampling. There are around 30 factory workers (all guys except one Samoan gal Maria) who work rotations of 16 hours shifts. They are a hardworking bunch. I got to know the guys on the sorting line the best and they were real friendly and helpful. It was interesting what a diverse crew we have we crew from Somoa, Mexico, Ghana, Japan, Philippines, Washington, Rhode Island, and North Carolina.
