For those of you who followed our return to the sea last summer, and recognized the hopelessly ecstatic expressions on our faces, it will come as no surprise to find not a scaling down of the Alaskan fishing fever, but rather a full-scale leap off the cliff of all that's "normal" in our lives. In the months since our last post at the Something Fishy blog we have traveled several thousand miles, spent way too much money, met a lot of great and helpful people, and finally are within the last stages of buying a boat and permit of our own. I hesitate to post pictures and make too many statements before those final papers all are signed, so you'll have to stay tuned to see the boat and the plan. It is serious enough that I've quit my job of 17 and a half years and joined the ranks of the self-employed, unfortunately with minimal income so far! If that isn't commitment, please tell me what more I should do!
This blog is to work hand in hand with the website I'm developing for the business, www.BeelinesAK.com . That site will provide pictures, overview (and some details) of the business, including any marketing arrangements we make, etc. This site is more for those who wish to follow the path thru the sea from afar, listen to my ramblings, and generally get to know us a little better in the journey.
I read recently that "Adventures are a logical and reliable result ....... of the fatal act of leaving one's home, or trying to return to it again." Well said. Here we go!
