Day 19 - Life Without Internet




May 23rd

            The 50th anniversary of the Kodiak Crab Festival started yesterday. I indulged in a large plate of king crab legs for 15 dollars. They were quite good – I ate too much and got a horrible stomachache.

            Tomorrow is our launch date… FINALLY! I’ve learned so much about this boat. I know where everything is and how it works. It fought us every step of the way; little projects turned into careers. I’m ready to be in the water – where I’m sure I’ll learn a lot more.

            There is deckhand culture in Kodiak who only have two things in common; they’re in Kodiak to fish, and they’re not from here. But everyone seems to get along, joined together by Alaska.
