And I went along as a deckhand. Actually called a puller on a fish boat. Hardest work I’ve ever done. It’s dangerous too, my hands still hurt, but I was a lot younger. One of those bears got into the camp with the bunkhouses one night and about a dozen dogs were howling and barking their asses off. Thanks for the memories
