There just is nothing else like it. The majestic and awe inspiring place I have ever worked. It is a place that makes you feel truly alive. It was a journey of my life. It took about 10 hours beginning at Pittsburgh International Airport all the way to the Anchorage Airport in Alaska. Then It was a PenAir puddle jumper on to The Barefoot Inn in ColdBay Alaska. To get to my boat F/V Nancy Gayle and then it was an additional 6 hours to get to the Peter Pan processing plant at Port Moller, Alaska which was our home base.

Cold Bay was where I really had my first chance to just take in some of the beauty that is Alaska or so I thought. The mountains with their snow caps and the wild flowers. The wild life was seemly at every turn of my head. I thought to myself just how amazing our planet really is.

From this point on I can say the true journey had begun. To commercial fish for salmon in the Bearing Sea. With long hours and hard work over the next 3 months myself and the captain would catch 178,000 lbs. on our 37 foot Nancy Gayle and what a ride it was. I cannot wait to get back out and have new experiences and new memories of a lifetime.

This is an amazing journey. It sure sounds like a great time and wonderful memories. Awesome photos too.

Thanks and it was I truly feel in love with Alaska and can't wait to return. I have some videos I am working on to get into DTUBE but I keep getting error messages once I try to summit. Going to try using FirFox today. Wish me luck. lol Any advice would be welcomed. Have a great day .

I'm still using YouTube. I need to try DTube. Good Luck.

I guess you're really having a good adventure. i'll love to have that someday too.

Every day is a chance at a new adventure what a wasted day if you don't. And you don't have to leave home to find amazing adventures but I will admit it is fun when we do.
