Herring Update

Well, I am out and about around Kodiak, chasing the herring fleet with my dear friend Jono, observing and regulating the fishery, just thought I would send up a couple of pictures (though I am about 200 photos behind on the blog, missing Arizona, etc.).

Here we go,

About twelve days ago- This is our mighty chariot, being lowered into the snowstorm where we are going to make camp. We got a ride down south with the Resolution, a large Fish and Game boat.

Arrived in Becker Bay (aka Kinsley Kove), with a lot of gear, making camp in the snow.

Luckily we had a shovel, lots of snow including a foot on the tent platform.

After the tent was set up, we hibernated for three days, as the snow and winds had their fun. Luckily, we were prepared...

Good food, good music, baseball games on the xm, new, dry tent. We survived the storm.
