Elliott told them to use the totes instead of the funnel thing (sorry I can't remember what it's called) because he wanted to stack pots on the deck. What the hell ever, Elliott. If I never see Elliott again it will be too soon.
Mandy is Sigs daughter by marriage. Her bio dad was a fisherman who was killed when she was little. Her mom married Sig and he's the only dad she's known I believe.
