One of those days...

I had to go in early today.  To make matters worse, we had two people fall overboard, an engine fire, and the boat started taking on water from some unknown source.

Didja ever have one of those days?

There is an old saying: "Any day on the water is better than a day in the office."  Kinda depends on the day.  ;-)

Yes, it was crew training.  We have one new captain and several new first mates.  Three boats in two locations.  Crew training will be a regular effort this season.  Everything went well, the victims were back on board in short order.  The fire was handled correctly.  The water intrusion handled.

Plus, it is a pretty, sunny morning.

I'll head back out on the water for a trip this afternoon... sure hope that is "less eventful" than this morning, but we're trained.

On edit: beautiful weather, nice guests, a fine trip.  We had to go quite a ways to find Minke whales, but the guests were pleased.  Saw a couple bald eagles and a big ol' Stellar Sea Lion, too.  I didn't think about getting a photo until the way home.  San Juan Channel, looking back towards Cattle Pass...
