First day on the water

Ahoy matey!  Here I am on the water for over 7 hrs and I haven't gotten sick.  Whoopee! Of course I was just told we were heading into some rough waters so who knows what the next few hours will bring. Cooked my first meal, taco soup and berry cobbler. Going to put a roast in the crock pot pretty soon to cook overnight.  I have seen my first whale but didn't get a very good picture. They assure me I will have many chances to take photos of whales and all sorts of other animals. We pick up our first hunter tomorrow morning and the hunt begins in the afternoon.  I have been looking out at the waves and thought that keeps running through my head is.....what have I gotten myself into? I mean, really, couldn't I have just found a different job around home to get me out of the house? Noooo, I have to run all the way up to Alaska, board a hunting charter and cook my fool head off.  Guess no one ever said I did things the easy way or sensible for that matter.  Actually, I didn't go looking for this kind of change in my life, it pretty much dropped in my lap. And what do you do when an opportunity to do something new presents itself? Well, I grabbed it, that's what I did. :-)
The weather is overcast and not near as pretty as I've had up to now.  Although the scenery is still breath taking, mountains, mountains and more mountains with some water in between.  Some still have snow, makes them look like they are wearing bonnets.  We will only have internet service for a while longer, after that I'm "dead in the water"......HAHAHAHA.....sorry couldn't resist.  So if you don't see a blog for awhile, not to worry, everything is A-ok.  I will blog again as soon as the lines of communication are open again.
Well, need to clean up the galley, that's boat talk for kitchen.  I'm so smart now I can hardly believe it.   I also need to straighten up my room, I might have packed a little too much but what's a girl to do? Gotta have enough shoes, even though the amount of square space I'll be covering is fairly minimal.  Gotta have long pants, short pants and yoga pants.  Gotta have tank tops, t-shirts and sweatshirts. And then a few other essentials.  Anyways, just wanted to touch base will everyone and say hi....yak later....dj
