I know that I am a little behind on my blog posts! It has been very very busy for the past few months around here! But I do want to share my stories and some pictures!
The month of August was filled with beautiful sunshine days! Which meant lots of great days on the boat and lots of wonderful adventures on days off!! It started off with a beautiful 80 degree day that Tristan and I took advantage of a surprise day off and did one of our favorite hikes! We took the trail to Perseverance lake. This is one of the relatively flatter trails here in Ketchikan, hence why its one of my favorites! But it leads to a beautiful lake. We took advantage and spent the day sunbathing, and even soaking my feet in the lake.
One morning at work we had to be in Metlakatla at 5AM to pick up a charter group. This unfortunately meant being at work at 3:30. But we were gifted with one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen! The sky was painted with so many shades of pink and orange it caused tears to come to my eyes.
In August Molly moved over to deckhand on another boat so we gained Jazmin as our new deckhand. Jazmin is a wonderful free-spirited woman from Arizona! We all taught her the secrets of Alaska, and she taught us the art of fire dancing! It was wonderful getting to spend the last 2 months of the season getting to know her! We even got to do a little zip-lining!
Our last August adventure was another overnight camping trip for Tristan and I. We decided to camp on Brown mountain. It was a beautiful afternoon and night! I got to dance in the wildflowers and feast on mountain blueberries! We were also visited by some mountain goats! At some point in the night Siren decided she no longer wanted to be in the tent and decided to put a Siren size hole in the side. She then spent the night roaming the mountain and collecting sticks.
The next morning over coffee was one of the most magical moments I have ever experienced. As we sat with our coffee watching the mist roll in around the mountain, we heard wolves in the distance! It was an amazing sound!
August was filled with Adventures, sunshine, whales, friends, and love! It is hard to put into words the beauty of what I get to experience everyday...so I'll just leave you with a few more pictures of the month!
And of course I can't end my post without this month's quote. These are beautiful words that I fell in love with a while ago:
At the end of the day your feet should be dirty, your hair messy, and your eyes sparkling!
