2/14/08, 7:15am, Anchorage


Happy Valentine's Day. We are sitting in the Anchorage airport waiting for the weather to clear in Dutch so we can finally get out there and get some work done. Same weather problems persist in Dutch but not as severe, so we remain hopeful. None of the fishermen are wearing red for Valentine's Day. I wore red. Met a man heading to Dutch who specialized in net repair at the docks. He used to fish until his vessel sunk a few years ago. Hasn't got the stomach for it now. Said that even thinking about sinking made him seasick.

The team is getting a little punchy doing all this waiting. Discussions on the size of Snickers bars have been the highlight of the morning.
