Day 8 - The Engine Room

May 12^th

            Everyday is a challenge dealing with the weather here. It’s still raining and the temperature hasn’t risen higher than 42 degrees. After living in southern California for four years I’m very happy to have rain again. The unpredictability of the weather keeps me on my toes.

After spending a day under an enormous engine, covered in diesel fuel and engine grease, cramped, sore, tired, I stopped – looked around, checked in with what I was feeling and realized that I’ve never been more high on life than right now, this moment. I’m living in Alaska; making money to travel, take pictures, cruise around the Alaskan coast, and fish! I’m living my dream. And this is just the beginning.

I also learned the importance and functionality of cover-alls… because I didn’t have them.
