OFF AGAIN!

I know its been hard keeping up with Taylor and I lately and it sure has been fun traveling all around.  Some of the time I don't even know where I am and what day it is!  Last month I was in Florida now I'm in Alaska!  What???!?!?!!?  Its kind of a trip!  I got to spend some more time with Taylor in Florida and got Anticipation back in ship shape.  We spent a few weeks getting everything put together after the big paint job they did on the hull.  It was then ready for its big summer up in the northeast.  Things weren't really panning out to be together for the summer so we started looking for some other opportunities.  Taylor ended up finding a job for me on craigslist for a Stewardess going up to Alaska all summer.  I sent in my resume, talked to the crew on a phone a few times and now I'm in Alaska!  Life sure is funny.  It was a little disapointing not to be able to be with Taylor but its only for a few months and I just couldn't pass this one up.  So they flew me out to Seattle and I started my new position.  Our main goal is to have fun, catch some fish, and make the family happy.  There will be several groups coming in and out over the summer and lots of adventure for all.  It has always been a dream of mine to make it up here to AK and it feels really good to be here.

We had a great trip up through British Columbia.  It is so nice to see the huge pine trees and mountains that I have missed.  The northwest is unlike any other place and I feel like I am back home.  Now I am really really far north and it gets wilder and wilder.  We have yet to see a bear but there have been tons of Bald Eagles and Salmon, a Humpback Whale, and Orcas.  Everyday is exciting to be in gods country.  It is so remote and we are accessing places that only one could on a boat.  Not ruffing it either....we have a chef.  Haha, his name is Jordan and he has been making us a couple of great meals every day.  So I'm having a good time and really excited for the next couple of months.  I will try to keep updating you guys what is going on, but have a feeling it won't be very often.  Our crew is solid, the boat is beautiful, and I am living my dream.
