: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, I am truly the world's worst fisherman. I went where I was told the fish were. I had the right bait. The right gear. Yet this weekend's trip produced not one halibut. Damnit. On the upside the boat ran like a champ. It did suck up a lot of fuel but it was carrying 5 guys and our gear. I went 25 MPH everywhere we went. Divided by 5 it wasn't bad. I also got to explore more of Kachemak Bay, a simply stunning part of the world. We pulled into Seldovia and had a beer so I got to see that town too. We took Jesse's little Zodiac and anchored the boat off shore. We rowed back and forth all night, catching Dolly Vardens and enjoying a beautiful night. The smart ones slept on the boat...it poured last night and I woke up to enough water in the tent that my shotgun was submerged. It was my own fault...you always prepare for bad weather in Alaska and I left the tarps behind. I was a little sad last night realizing that the days are now about to start getting shorter. Winter is coming back and I am not ready. I am going through my summer 2009 list pretty good but there are still a lot of things on it, especially with my murder trial starting in mid August. Happy Father's day. I need to clean the boat and gear and then enjoy the family...
