I don't know how many seasons ago it was, maybe two yeas ago? Capt. Phil was resting in his bunk when the CM took a big wave. He got knocked out of his bunk and slammed into some furniture, hurt his ribs pretty bad. He kept on skippering despite coughing up blood the whole time. Whole fleet worried about him so much they finally convinced him to go ashore for medical. That's when he learned he had cancer, IIRC.

EDIT: Someone posted a short tribute to Capt. Harris, over on YouTube. Here's the link for anyone interested:
