Back from Alaska!
I made it back from Sand Point Alaska on the 8th of January. The trip home took a lot out of me. My day started at 6AM in Sand Point on the 7th, finishing up paperwork and working on the reedit of Duplicity.
At 10AM I went to a vessel to put a tracking system on, used to make sure that the vessels stay out of the Sea Lion rookeries. The weather was a mess, coming down in buckets. I was outside working on putting the antenna up. I was drenched through three layers by the time I was finished.
At 3PM I was on the phone to Alaska Airlines to change my reservations. Most of the vessels were now out fishing for Cod.
The plane for Anchorage departed Sand Point at 7PM and landed in Anchorage at 9:30PM.
My next plane departed Anchorage at 1:15AM on the 8th arriving in Seattle Washington at 4:50AM. I couldn't get a second of sleep with a small child behind me that was sick and couldn't clear their ears.
In Seattle I had a bite to eat, then sat reading until the plane to Bellingham boarded at 8:15AM. I arrived in Bellingham at 9:30AM and home at 10:30AM, still no real sleep. I don't count the 5 minutes I lost track of the book I was reading nodding off on the plane to Bellingham.
I think It was 11:30AM before I climbed into bed, blurry eyed.
