Workin' Like a Icecream Man in Hell

That would describe the last few weeks for me. Running around like a madman, yet again living off of Ramen noodles and the occasional delight that is a bean and cheese burrito. I'm currently living on the Wilderness Adventurer, at the North end of the West Wall in Fisherman's Terminal, and I still don't have a working toilet, and probably won't until the 2nd week of January (too busy right now to work on it). Anywho, I'm getting a bit blurry-eyed, and should get heading home from my night class (AutoCAD2010).

So, with no further ado....

Good night!

$2800 in paint - Proline linear polyurethane White and Endeavor Blue, along with proline vinyl-copper anti-fouling bottom paint.


Water draining from bull-works of the Safari Spirit while in Delta Marine's shipyard.

Pilothouse, aft cabin, steel version of Joshua Slocum's Spray - I desire it very much. Oddly enough, there is another one of these for sale less than 150 yards away, here.

The morning after....testing out my new car-camping mattress, thanks to the Wilderness Discoverer.

Bottom paint applied!

My old Nokia being sent into hibernation just minutes after purchasing the iPhone 3Gs(yes, I'm a dork for owning one of these things, but frankly, I've had crap phones for the past 6 years, and I'm really digging all the stuff this thing can do - and I'm stoked to play more with the camera in my off time...).

Well Lookie There!

While browsing the ol' internet I stumbled across a website, www.AmericanSafariCruises.com whose home page features two photos taken by yours truly (the big photo of the Safari Spirit, and the Three Little Bears). Yeah, and that handsome devil in the blue is me too. : ) Oh, and the picture above is the most incredible Humpback whale encounter I've ever had, at Point Retreat, AK. Kevin is on "outboard left" and I'm on "outboard right," and this photo was taken by Vanessa Franson. BTW - I could have walked off the front of the boat, into the mouths of multiple whales, we were so close. So yes, it really closer than it looks. Gosh, I love my job!

In other news, today is the 1-month anniversary of my moving onto the M/V Wilderness Adventurer, my 156' home for the next year or so. As a pre-funk for the obviously extraordinary day that today is, I brought the luxury of running water to our fine boat last night. I might even be able to take a real, hot shower by Wednesday. OMG.

Well, the teacher is requiring that we actually do work now, so I must go...

Cheers,

Danny
