It was a grand trip. We enjoyed our extra day, thanks to Alaska Airlines, watching the eagles and their young learning to fly from the apartment in the sunshine. We had no problems on the fourth, all four planes were on time and we arrived in Springfield with all six boxes of fish delivered at one o’clock in the morning and managed to be in bed by 2 a.m.
Our high point was Captain Phil killing and cleaning our crabs so we didn’t have the challenge of the year before when we could only cook two crabs at a time and one bit Jody and one escaped in the kitchen. Of course, thanks to Captain Phil it was not the adventure it was the year before.
They all enjoyed this year and feel they were well looked after. The Captains are amazing the way they find the fish, even finding the right size for the current government regulations.
