twice a year can you get up on
it; the tides are not high enough,
long enough,” he said. But both

ing to Kodiak all the time. In the
last year I have counted ten or
twelve who have moved here on
account of the great potential and
the winter fishing. It’s as good or
better a climate than you can find
anywhere, neither very hot nor
very cold. We do have sudden
storms and all we fishermen have
to watch out for those or lose our
boats, but that is part of the bus
iness. Newcomers seem to like it
here; they build homes and stay.
The average fisherman wants to
live ashore, go home and relax
after a trip out and forget about
fishing for a week or so; then
he’s ready to go again. That is
too high for boats of that size
why the small boat harbor is such
a fine thing. The town is a friend
ly place and we like the fact that
everybody knows just about every
body else; most people are willing
to give you help if you need it.
“My wife and I are really hap
py here. She was Florence Nyman
from Seldovia, and is a very sweet
girl. No, we have no childen, but
that is our hope someday. She likes
the outdoor life and used to go
fishing with us when we had the
smaller boat, but she works at the
cannery most of the year now and
her trips are usually limited to
hunting. This is a good life, though
fishing is hard; what makes the
fishing life bearable is the indepen
dence. You manage your life as
you want, decide when you come
and when you go. That’s why I’m
in it.”
