The Valette

To make up for the broken internet yesterday, I spent a ton of time going through the photos I took while in Homer. And since I know the internet is dying to see how I spent my pre-pubescent summers, I uploaded a gallery of my father's commercial fishing boat.

I have so many stories associated with this fishing boat, I hardly know where to start. So I won't start. I just want you to imagine four teenage boys, two young girls, and two parents sharing this tiny space for five days every week of every summer (we came to shore for church and more food every weekend), trying to pull in as many salmon as possible.

Also, please keep in mind that the last time we fished as a family was in 1993, and it has not seen much use since. This boat has not been even started in over a year.

Powerful imagery and powerful, yet short & sweet description of your summers on the boat.
