Cod fishing off the Icelandic coast in the Arctic Circle is a tough job; two greenhorns leave everything behind to battle freezing waters and brutal storms in pursuit of big catches and even bigger paychecks.
It's the second week into a three-week trial of two fishing greenhorns who have given up life as they knew it in a bid to more than double their monthly pay packets fishing in the Arctic Circle.
On the third and final fishing trip of their three-week trial period, Greg Jones and Caitlin Krause must bring their A-game to stand any chance of landing the coveted position of deckhand.
After three grueling trips working on Icelandic longline fishing boats, the greenhorns have just three more days to prove they have what it takes to win a full deckhand contract for the rest of the high season.
Greg Jones quit his job as a power plant worker, flew from Tenesee to Iceland, and tried-out for a job on an Icelandic longliner; Greg has passed his three-week trial.
The Valdimar's newly appointed deckhand, Greg Jones, is battling debilitating injuries; first mate John Johnsson personally escorts Greg to the doctor to have his wrist and knee injuries assessed.
