Just back from a month of no interwebs! You may not have noticed I was gone since I've become a some time part time blogger (sorry 'bout that, I just don't think of blogging when my life is interesting, ya know). Aaany way...
I was being a deckhand on the F/V Chilkat for the sea cucumber dive fishery in Tenakee Inlet. Tenakee is south of Juneau on Chichagof island. Sea cucumbers are spineless critters related to starfish that are plucked off of the bottom of the ocean by divers and then stabbed to death by deckhands and then sent to processing plants to be sent away to the far east. Apparently they cure everything a rhino horn doesn't. ..and taste good? After stabbing thousands of them and realizing it's a fishery based on something that deflates to look like a used condom, I'm not going to eat one.
I'm having a hell of a time with the newest Firefox and google based web stuff like Blogger and Aim mail. Might just abandon blogger... but we'll see.
