Well, Hi there!
It's been a while since I last posted, and a lot has changed. I finally got work, as my bid to get on the State Ferry system came through. I went from no work to all work though for the summer. Between June and mid September I spent exactly ten days at home.
Spending a month at a time on a ship, going back and forth from port to port, was quite an experience. As luck would have it, weather was great both trips out the Aleutians and the many cross-gulf trips we made. I worked as a Steward this summer, Serving meals to passengers and crew, cleaning staterooms, and washing dishes. All in all, a rewarding summer, but not much time at home to get things done or to spend with family.
Alas, I am off work for the winter though. Ferry work is seasonal for the first couple years, until I have enough seniority points to stay on for the winter.
