The skiff while we were taking it to protected waters. It was knocking against the hull roughly due to the steep chop we were in, and I wouldn't be surprised if we have to do some minor fiberglassing on that area this season.
Jonathan working while we are pulling the skiff out. You can see water pouring out aft port corner.
The poor little skiff floating again, about 2 1/2 hours after it sank. You can see the damage to the console, how it doesn't fit against the deck anymore.
Andrew and Jonathan have, over the past 3 days, repaired the skiff and it is now in working order. Some improvements were even made. I think we will be heading out to fish later today, so we will arrive at the fishing grounds tomorrow morning and begin out fishing season. Finally some money will be made. I have been here for almost a month now, and I have yet to make a cent. Hopefully tomorrow we will fix that.
I was able to play some volleyball the day before yesterday. It was very casual, but it felt good to play nonetheless. There are a few girls in our group here who play on the varsity team during the school year, so there were actually other people who knew how to play fairly well. It was fun; me and two other friends were out there for about 4 hours while other players drifted in and out.
So hopefully next time I post will be from the library in Valdez. I have no idea how long that will be, because I have no idea when we will actually be heading over there to fish, but it should be sometime later in the month.
