2 blogs in one week

Hey everyone,

Well we had 3 days of great weather and now we are having 3 days of crappy weather. No worries though, I'll take the good with the bad. My friend Lisa (also an Atlanta transplant and a newleywed to her husband and the Military too) is stuck in Anchorage until the fog lifts here in Kodiak. But, that's living in Kodiak.

So our fishing trip today was postponed. Don't get me wrong PLENTY of people fish in the rain (see picture). I might have gone and fished in the rain but, luckily I didn't have to make that decision. I have officially gotten the itch to "rip a lip" aka go fishing. One of our girlfriends says she will "show us the way." Again, who is going to clean the fish. I still think I am going to catch and release.

I have gotten a report from Andy that the seas are VERY angry and his 378 foot boat is getting tossed around like a buoy. He said it is very hard to sit at his computer and read the screen. There are several reports of other Coasties getting sea sick. Although it is rough he says "it is kind of fun."

I had a job interview of sorts. I sat down with the Aquatics Director on base. We discussed me teaching swimming lessons for juniors and adults. I am very excited to get back to teaching something that I love but, yet have lots time to spend with Andy when he returns to land.

Bear watch is still in affect and I haven't seen any lately and it's not because I haven't tried. We have gone out trying to find them but, have had no luck.

I will leave you with some pictures. I promise tomorrow I will go and try to take pictures of trout.

Hope everyone is enjoying the heat.
