It could be awhile

Well the past few days I have been lazy on recording what has been going on around here, but there really isn't much to report. We got our chores done and the boat put back together during our long closure, and fished yesterday. The fishing is still pretty good around here and we got 37000 pounds, which brings our total poundage sold to 611000 pounds. We actually have caught over a million pounds for the year so far, but a lot of that was during the co-op and we didn't get paid for everything we caught. Oh well, we've still made a lot of money.

I drove us almost all the way back into town last night because the autopilot is on the fritz again. Driving can be tiring when you have to stand up the whole time. We are actually about to head out again to be ready for tomorrow's opener, and I think we will be back tomorrow night, because we need another day in town to fix things seeing as how it is Sunday today and everything is closed. The next closure might be our last time in Cordova for awhile though, because I'm pretty sure afterwards we will be heading off to fish in the middle of nowhere for about a month. We may find ourselves in another co-op, although hopefully it would be more organized than the one in Valdez. I also assume that I will being my training in the skiff soon, to take over when Jonathan leaves for college.

So once that month is done the pink salmon season will be over and the only fishing left will be a few days in Valdez to fish for silver salmon. I can't believe that it is almost August already.

So this could be the last post for quite a while, and it should probably be assumed that no news is good news, although if I have the opportunity to update I will.
