Back in Wa

I made it back to Seattle mid April and took about a week to wrap up my debriefing responsibilities. After spending around a week and a half at home in Pasco, I'm now back up in Seattle for what I'm planning to be my final assignment. There was a 3-day training session this last week I attended for the Pacific Hake fishery. I'm now waiting to embark on my boat which is due to leave Seattle on the 19th. Hake is a fish with a similar appearance and similar uses to pollock - white fish filets, fish sticks, imitation crab etc. All of the fishing takes place off of the Washington and Oregon coast and the entire season is only supposed to last around 2 weeks. This will likely be the largest and nicest boat that I've been on and rumor is that each room has wireless internet and cable tv - weird.
