It’s been a while since I have Blogged..

Life aboard ship is busy with the steady fishing routine that occupies most of our time. But, there are no complaints, as without that steady routine the days drag on…

Sad news: One of our crew has had news of the unexpected passing of a close relative back home. In my experience it’s never easy to deal with these situations on the long trips, and in this case we are still 2 months from home. But, when it does happens, it is a relief at times like this to have a family team that understands just how far away we are, and the best we can do from here is stay in touch by satellite phone and e-mail as trying to get home is simply not an option. In this situation there is very good family support and everyone is working through their grieving process without too much anxiety.

We would like to dedicate this photo to Pam's memory.

Our thoughts go to Deanna, Shane, Bella and the family.
