Day 39 - Paul


June 12th

            Yesterday our second deckhand arrived. I’m very glad to finally have the company of someone other than Dave.

            Paul is 37-year-old single father. He lives in San Mateo and works in the docks in the east bay. Paul and I got along right away. We could relate to each other. This is Paul’s third year fishing, he understands more about how this game works than I do, and he’s helping me along.

            There’s only one problem… Paul is a party animal and we’ve been getting very little sleep. But we’ve been having a lot of fun – a welcomed change of pace from Dave’s constant and amazing ability to not take pleasure in anything he does.
