earnings  allocation  applicability 

Summary:

Claimant was on a fishing trip beginning on March 17 and ended on March 20, 2000 when the catch was unloaded. BOR found that the earnings from the catch should be allocated to March 17 and 18 only, the 2 days on which the fish were caught. Held that although the expression "fishing trip" is not defined in the Regulations, its natural meaning must relate to the duration of the voyage rather than to the days in which the crew are actually engaged in recovering fish from the sea.
