Fox Farm, Prince William Sound
Up until I was 21 I had minimal experience with salt water. That is until I was lucky enough to fall into an opportunity that would feed both my adventures and my wallet.
I spent four summers on a roving yacht in Southcentral Alaska. Our daily itinerary was a question of weather and what we felt like getting into. Our trips ranged from one week to a full month. From sunrise solo missions, coaching my boss' kid on his footwork, sport fishing, dinners on the rooftop deck while watching calving glaciers, or pulling all nighters by a campfire, there was always plenty of work to be had. Suffice to say, I fell in love with the water, something I had never thought much of. I hope to spend a lot more time exploring the coasts of Alaska, Washington, or Canada at some point in my life. But for now, I'll revel in the memories of beautiful sunsets and lively sea creatures.
