well i wandered into to the naknek library to post again. today i am on my own. mark and i rock-paper-scissored for who would take the job offer last night and i lost. mark shipped out this morning at six a.m. our neighboring boat in the harbor took off this morning and gave my a lift into naknek (about 15 miles about the road from king salmon). it was the greatest feeling to be on a boat. matt, the skipper of that boat, has been teaching us a lot about salmon fishing. i have learned so much already. he has really been looking out for us. it was sad to see them leave today. last night matt went with me to me a possible skipper to make sure i was going to be in a good situation. the skipper didn't make it into town though, so hopefully i will get a chance to meet him tonight. matt is only 22 and he is the captain of his own boat. he has been fishing for since he was 13. anyways, i am going to wander the docks again today. i would be really stoked if i could meet this captain tonight and get onto his boat. hope the outside world is doing well. this town can feel like an island. i am more excited, though, about getting on a boat and starting the season.
