I love reading about everyone's doings, I have such awesome friends. Butchery and bees and environment and Quichua and mexico and music and cherry trees and travel, its so great to hear about it all!
My life has been kind of crazy lately-we fished in the same cove for a month straight for sockeye ssalmon.
On July 6th, my dad ran his boat into a rock and basically sank it. It was insane. There were coast guard helicpoters and jets, like 8 boats helping him, and it was front-page news for two days in Kodiak. It was salvaged to shore, but my dad has basically destroyed his life's work and home, it is pretty devastating for him. Losing that boat has almost felt like a death in the family or something. It is amazing how attached we can become to boats.
Aside from that, weve still been having a lot of fun..beach bonfires and fishing and exploring and whatnot...summer in alaska is just perfect. The fireweed and lupine are blooming, and salmonberries and just starting to get ripe. Everything is GREEN, like every shade of green you could imagine.
I am ridiculously tired right now, ive been up for 40 hours now. Im finally living on land again, for a short while anyway, and am looking forward to a regular bed and some shuteye. night night
