Happy Monday, I think. Yep, just checked it's Monday. The crew attempted to survey another creek at Saginaw this morning but there were no fish so they returned to the boat early enough for a noon departure. We are getting ready to go around Pt Gardner at the southern tip of Admiralty Island, usually one of the more troublesome spots to sail. The wind and waves are almost always churned up and wreaking havoc. Coffee pot and skillet are on the floor and both sinks are full of counter items. Better safe than sorry. We are rocking side to side pretty good but so far nothing has broken except a light fixture did come down from the ceiling. Minor detail. So Aaryn and I fixed it.......we duct taped it back to the ceiling. :-) I must have conveyed a negative message in my post yesterday as I have received several inquiries from worried friends. Sorry about that guys. I'm fine really. Nothing to worry about. All part of the journey and experience. Learning more about myself everyday which isn't a bad thing at all. I've been asked what I want to do after I return home. Good question. Haven't thought much about it but first thing will be to take a nice long walk, anywhere and for sure longer than 50 feet, (the length of the boat). Then I may make my hubby a well deserved home cooked dinner, although he has been treated very well by the boys and their wives along with several wonderful friends. Thank you so much for remembering him and having him over for dinners. He enjoys getting out of the house and not being lonely, plus he's not fond of his own cooking. And to think, this job was offered to him first. hahaha.....guess that might not have been the best use of resources. Now, if they wanted something built or the boat refinished then Byron's the dude they want. He's magical with wood. His woodworking business is taking a new turn with finding new shop space. A possible space has been located and he will finalize the spot soon which will give him a much nicer environment to create his projects. Looking forward to getting a website started to showcase his work. I am hoping to market some of his things once he has time to make a decent supply of things.
