Back in Kodiak

So I havent had much time to stop and catch my breath since I started working but here's a little recap. I had a 4 day briefing in Seattle, and I hung out there a couple days more, and then a few more in Anchorage. I started my contract by going to Dutch Harbor to work on a pollock trawling boat, the Viking. I was kind of a strange trip, I went directly from airport to the boat, and after 1 6 day trip directly back to the airport. So I really didn't get to see Dutch Harbor or the Island Unalaska much at all. Just around the airport and the docks. It seemed fairly distinct from other parts of Alaska (or the world) I have seen. Beautiful white mountains, but oddly no trees. Maybe I'll go back someday and explore more. The trip itself sucked. The boat was nice and the crew was great, but seas were rough and I had a rude awaking with seasickness. The Bering Sea is a rough place and it's really, really horrible being seasick for long periods of time. But I survived only to go almost directly onto another boat in Kodiak. From Dutch, I went to Anchorage was there for about 6-7 hours to sleep before I had to catch a flight to Kodiak and get directly onto another boat. I went on a 4 day trip with that boat, Vanguard, and got back today. Unfortunately it was the same story: nice boat, rough seas, puking. Every boat has a unique way of rolling with the waves so changing boats on these short trips is tough. I'm not sure why this contract I have been getting seasick much worse than last time when it wasnt much of a problem, but whatever I will get better and stronger. I got a nice assignment for the time being working seaside at plants/canneries here in Kodiak, meaning I wont have to go out to Sea for awhile, (hopefully a long awhile) and I will basically live in here in Kodiak and work a semi-normal job. It should be really good, and I will have more time to explore Kodiak, which I like a lot. The weather is getting better and things are looking up.
