She is a rarity in the crabbing world; considered to be bad luck aboard most if not all fishing vessels in Dutch Harbor, save for her own boat. The boat itself has under gone a change in color, from national blue with corn gold trim and lettering to a deep, regal purple with burgundy silver trim and lettering. For as long as she remembers it has been in her family and she will do her damnedest to keep it that way.
