So you're probably wondering what we have been up to…

Hey Everybody-

We’ve been scratch fishing away up here over the last week and managed to bring in more than 10,000 pounds! We have a goal right now of 180,000 and we are at 179,450… so close. We will get it by next tide for sure.
Right now we have one boat crew working on fishing every tide and the other boat crew (minus one guy) is working on land. We have been doing a lot of repairs around camp this season. In the last two days the second boat crew and I have emptied out the whole crew cabin, put protective plastic up, pulled out all the insulation, repaired a bunch of leaks on the roof, scraped paint off of the outside in preparation for painting, and a few other minor projects around here. We’ve been busy!
During all the busy work David and I walked over to one of our storage cabins to grab some supplies and on the way David was swarmed by hornets that had been nesting under one of the boardwalk planks, and was stung 4 times. I’m not quite sure why they didn’t get me; I think I might have stirred them up just before he walked by… sorry David. We ended up spraying the nest the next day; hopefully they won’t nest there again.
The other day I took Jake, one of our crew members to the airport who had to leave a little early due to a family emergency. We miss him already, but have heard that he plans to come back up next year. Great!
This year the crew has come to Alaska from: Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, Ohio, North Dakota, Arizona, and other parts of Alaska. We all come from so many different places and have different backgrounds yet when we all get together up here we get along really well. I think it’s because we all have some common goals, which are: feeding people delicious Wild Salmon, looking for adventure, and making some money. We all come together like a big family up here; it’s so sad at the end of the season when people start going home. We know we won’t be seeing some of them for a whole year and others for a couple of years due to school, work, etc. This year’s crew was great! I hope they all come back next year!
Well, things are winding down here but there is a little more work to do before we all go home. I will let you know what we are up to as we get closer to the end of the season. We will be out of here at the end of the month.
