A place with as much connection to the sea as Eureka will have people living their who knows the water as a way of making ends meet .
Harvey is an old salt and knows the coast ,the shoals,the banks and the inlets like the back of his hand .Sure he is getting on a bit and arthritis makes him grumpy when its foul out -but he negates the weather like he was a part of the elements.
Word around town is that he used to run a succesful marijuana smuggling operation using fishing boats to send high grade weed to customers further south .No one dares ask though -not that it matters in T2K. Old he might be ,but his Remington 870 has fresh notches on the but stock .Its probably just seagulls.
Good tobacco is always a good opener with Harvey.
