The summer season is coming to a close and it is beginning to get a bit crispy up here in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. It usually 60s or 70s, but with a bit of wind, the dewy mornings are chilly. Tomorrow, we will have our last trip of the season to nantucket. After that, we will prepare to head south to Fort Lauderdale to the big boat show. There will be 200 yachts in the show, with the biggest topping out at around 200ft with helicopter landing pads. With big boats come big crews, and from what i have heard, the boat show sponsered parties are always a good time. After that, however, our future is uncertain. The boat is for sale, so it could sell in Fort lauderdale, which would mean one of two things. Either the new owner has another boat with a full crew and will transfer his crew over to the kaleen, or he does not have a crew and will chose to keep the crew aboard as we already work together well and know the boat. If the former is the case, then I get a vacation and a chance to look for a new job on another boat. If the boat doesn't sell, we will probably go to the bahamas or the carribbean and do chartered trips down there. Either way, I am not worried. The worst case scenario is that I will move out to steamboat with Luc and Brett and spend a season skiing. So life certainly doesn't suck. In fairhaven, it has been more of the same. keeping the boat proper during the day, and then geocaching, sea snake snatching(eel hunting, no luck yet, but when we get one, we are gonna catch one hell of a striper), throwing a frisbee and some night time excursions to boston and newport. Yesterday I ordered a camera. Its the upgraded version of the one waterproof one that I had before, so hopefully I will be able to post some snorkling/scuba pics in a month or so. As for now, here is a geocaching picture of Ashley and I. She and chef Alex left yesterday to go to farmAid and then to Oklahoma before going down to Ft. Lauderdale.
