I also found out that I'll be based out of Kodiak from the start which means I'll be working on smaller boats, likely pot-fishing for Pacific Cod. Most of my training class will be on giant trawler catcher processors fishing for Pollock but me and the other trainees from my contractor won't i guess. The quality of the smaller boats are generally not as nice as the bigger ones (it varies a lot of course) and they probably aren't as safe or seasickness friendly, but I'll get to be in a port a lot more and have 4-5 day trips instead of 2-3 month trips so I'm happy with it.
The schedule we are on is crazy though, I'll be in Anchorage by tomorrow night and Kodiak by Saturday. I could possibly be out on my first boat by Saturday night. It's incredibly stressful and exciting at the same time!

I don't think you're the lady killing sort enough to hurt a girl in port.
Nay, fair Ross, Kevin kills people of both genders. At will.
The smaller boat sounds like a good deal, with the 4-5 day working and then time off. Take pictures of the boat and the crew.
That's exciting. We wish you the best and hope you have a blast! Candle sucks.
Pat and Andrea.
