May 10th
We finally got the generator working – it took three days, but we did it. We still aren’t sure why it wasn’t working.
It’s going to take us five days to get up to Bristol Bay from Kodiak. Salmon season opens June 1st in Bristol Bay. Our plan is to be there for the opening because the whole season is only six weeks long. We’re still waiting for a third crew member – we have options, but we’re waiting out for someone who has another permit, allowing us to fish with more net and potentially catching a lot more fish.
I learned today that the cheapest and most reliable insurance policy you can buy for fishing here in Alaska is a survival suit at $400 – a bleak thought.
