I can't believe it has been a whole month since I arrived in Kodiak. The boat wintered real well this year. Usually there are a dozen little problems associated with a boat sitting idle during the winter months, but knock on wood, there was only one this year. The pressure sensor on the fresh water pump developed a hairline crack and had to be replaced. Other than that, all systems were operational from the get go. Putting a new cargo winch on the main boom is going to be easy, right? Famous last words. Boats have a way of mistreating you which is way out of the realm of normality. Projects which are easy and should be done in a few hours take days and projects which are much more complicated and should take days are done in a matter of hours. It's just the way of a fisherman's world. There is always a wicked wrinkle in the mix.
Jigging for Cod is next, once I'm sure all systems are good to go!
