No time to Post

This is Dad posting for SeanyBigWave!!

After waiting patiently for Captain Dean to arrive for 3+ days, last Sunday was the eventful meeting. They struck their deal(got a raise after 1 day) and have been working non-stop for the week getting the boat ready an hence the reason for no posting.

Some important factoids:
1. Captain Dean snores like a grizzly bear-thank goodness for ipod earphones
2. Captain Dean starts work at 6am and ends work at 11pm-not much time to eat, but that has improved over the week.
3. The boat is about 28 feet long. It has a bucket if you get my drift.
4. The third crew member was to show up yesterday afternoon-Sunday. Sean and Dean were going out yesterday for a test run.
5. Captain Dean is type A and not a warm fuzzy, but Sean says that thru the week all is well-it better be they eat, sleep and work non-stop. He is in commercial real estate in Cour de Laine Idaho.
6. Captain Dean caught 175000 lbs of fish last year. They fish in groups in 4 areas and they are regulated by Fish & Game as to when the run is open/closed-so many salmon have to make it back up the rivers to spawn.
7. Sean is anxious to get out on the water and test his sea legs and stomach.
8. Planning to be home by the end of July-will be dependant on the season.

All is well in the booming metropolis of King Salmon and Naknek with Sean. He has learned a lot from Dean on boat preparation and fishing, but now is ready for the real experience.

More to follow...but the posts will now be intermittent as we most likely will not hear from him as frequently.
