Comming up

Well its been a while since the last post so I figured I would update. Finally feeling just about 100 percent now after the surgery and being sick off the meds, so thats good. This past week we have had this thing called CART going on the whole time. It is where we have Navy chiefs and officers come on board our boat and inspect Everything and also judge us on how well we do our drills. Needless to say we have been working 10 and 11 hour days all week trying to fix every little thing they point out. Today is the last day though and now we get time off untill we get underway for our spring patrol next wed. Hopefully this one wont be as bad, its going to be a little warmer now and much more sunlight! The plan is that we get underway next wed and we will be out on the Bering untill the first week of May, then it is straight down to Seattle for a week of Fire fighting school, and then sail to the Navy base in Everett, WA for two weeks of drills and inspections. Estimated day back to Ketchikan is June 1st. It is going to be a long and busy couple of months, but hopefully some of it will be fun. I am sure I will get plenty of new pictures! Stand-by for the next post sometime!

Its been cold

So, sorry there haven't been to many pictures lately, after the surgery and getting sick off the meds I just reallly haven't taken that many. But here are a couple from a quick hike I took out at settlers cove, if ya look back in earlier posts you can see what the stream looks like in spring compared to winter. Starting to feel a lot better now so I will try to get out and take my camera along with me. Few more weeks and we will be setting out on the next patrol for 26 days, then down to Seattle for 3 weeks! Thats it for now, take care!
