some light is coming

i thought that without my partner in crime, mark, that this adventure would be completely and unbearably miserable. however, i have survived and i am really enjoying the people i meet throughout the day. last night, i hung out with two guys in our yard, taylor and adam. taylor and adam go to washington state university. taylor has been fishing with his grandpa since he was thirteen and now he is runnning his grandpa's boat. both of them have been really helpful in offering me some advice on boats. also, they are both quite the sports fanatics and it was nice to talk about sports for the first time in a while with these guys. most fishermen i have talked to only talk about fish and having such a limited knowledge in fish, i can only talk around that topic for a few minutes. i also met a captain named john webb and his boat is called the webslinger. awesome. john is an older man with wavy red hair and a bushy red moustache. also awesome. one of his men backed out and he told me to keep checking in with him for a possible spot. this boat is like "the" boat in the yard. it would be a huge land for me if i could get on his boat. i met with another captain this morning about a possible spot. i have been super encouraged as i am meeting people who need to fill deckhand positions. i keep praying for that right boat and captain and a lot of fish in the net.

Sean,
Wow! You are in the same place that Jim and his Dad fly into every year. A small plane then takes them to the Kvichak River! What a great experience to see such a different way of life. I had a flashback of being on a Greek Tanker on my way out to Crete!Hope you get on a boat soon. Jim and James are building a chicken coop for our new chicks- Peepers and Sunshine- we'll have eggs in about 6 months!!! Stay safe- we love you! T,J,J,and D

I am so happy to hear read your post today! I can hear the "light" in your voice!

I continue to pray without ceasing! I am praying for your safety always, for your wisdom as you speak to these captains, and for God's grace and more grace to hand pick this captain, boat, and crew for you!

Hang in there!

Love you loads, mom

Hi Sean! Very cool blog...in fact, I use the same template. You're on our minds and in our prayers. We'll keep praying that you land just the right job...soon, too. Bet you're missing ol' Reilly. You know, I think he would've loved this adventure. Now THAT might have landed you a spot on Animal Planet or Discovery Channel. The Salmon Hunting Golden Retriever.
