Wow--the trip up felt like forever! Maybe it was having a fourth person on the boat. I didn't feel crammed in, or claustrophobic. I don't know what it was. Yes, it felt like a long time, I don't think it was the extra crew-woman though. Speaking of it was so nice to have her on board! She was such a sweet lady and a great cook too!
How about when we were cleaning the first set of fish of the season, about 200 fathoms from the Canadian border and the Alaska State Troopers board the boat to check all of our crew licenses and Pete's permit, and Kris says to the cop that she's not working, just up for the trip, but "I have been coooking". Oh no! Apparently you can do nothing but sit if you're not crew. I can't remember if Pete said it was a $600 or $800 dollar ticket, either way, no bueno.
Josh, the other deckhand said he wants to keep a log of funny quotes from Pete and me this summer. I didn't really realize how prime this idea was until we were docked in a pretty busy harbor and Josh didn't want to poop in our regular receptacle (a 5 gallon bucket) because of privacy, so he asked Pete if there were a public restroom somewhere, and after thinking about it for a couple of seconds, he responds with: "Well, I think maybe you should just try to sneak one in the stern".
Priceless.
