Many of you have met my son John at a bay area art and wine festival, at the Vallejo Pirate Festival or at the Maryland Renaissance festival.
This week John embarks on the high seas out of Dutch Harbor Alaska as a fish observer. He will be contracting for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) recording the weights and and types of fish caught on various fishing vessels that he is assigned to. John graduated from S.F.S.U. with a degree in marine biology and limnology and although he’s had many jobs before, (including wearing a pirate hat at Marty Magic festivals) this will be his first job in his field of study.
I’m grateful that his 3 month contract is during the Alaskan summer and pray that his intensive safety training will not be needed. He is wearing my Angler Fish Pendant as a good luck amulet. Safe adventures John!
