Still here

Ok so leaving today didn't really work. The weather ended up being so bad that our trip would have been an extremely unpleasant one. At the dock the wind was howling and the rain was coming down pretty hard. Eventually some of that rain became hail, for even more fun. We did manage to finish a few simple chores though, like cleaning up the deck and the dock around our slip. I even got to try on my survival suit for use in the emergency of our ship sinking. I will display a picture in a second. It basically makes me look very similar to Gumby.

I have no idea when we will actually end up leaving. Supposedly today's weather is going to hold up through Saturday, but who knows. All I know is that once we get good enough weather to leave, we will.

Anyways the point of this post was for pictures, so without further ado:


My boat the Jonathan S. Note the rainy-looking clouds in the background, which have come to be a familiar sight.


My bunk.


Our personal watchdog. He is never satisfied with any amount of attention or petting. He shoots yearning beams out of his eyes when food is present, and the power of these beams must not be underestimated.


My very first cork stack, done while loading the net back onboard after mending it. Supposedly it will get shorter as I get better at my job.


In the survival suit looking good.

Well that's about it for now. I will try and post more pictures when I can, and hopefully the next ones will have freshly-caught fish in them. I'll definitely post again before we leave the dock.
