Icon14 YM is rugged

Decided to wear the YM this season instead of the Sub for a change of pace-held up through -20 degrees, saltwater, ice, countless food preperations and of course the usual Bering Sea weather.
Great watch, it's my fav now...but I'm not going to call it Platty-sorry JJ
Nice to be home! (Well, almost)

Ahoy there shipmate, glad to see your post! I was wondering about you when the news about the Alaskan Ranger hit the wires. Did you know any of the crews there?

Sounds like you are as rugged as the YM. Welcome home when you finally get there. Looks like you and the YM left the guppies at the equator.

YM on the Bering Sea. Sounds like a great idea for Rolex advert.

Hey GrandDaddy-didn't know any of those on board that vessel that sank and took 5 lives along with it. One of two major accidents this season, other was the Glacier that caught on fire, we were there when it happened and helped put it out. 14 million in damage on that one but no lives lost thank goodness...
I'm looking forward to some company and a cold one!
