After the issues with the truck, she'd been perfect. The next night I got in some quality time with a fire, some scotch and some good reading.
The next morning I boarded the ferry to Kodiak. I met some great people on board, including Marcus and his friend whose name I forget. They were on their way for a weeklong bear hunt. I also met Jerry, an ex-marine who was on his way to pick up an engine. Overall, the ferry was pretty empty, and there was a lot of conversation and sharing of stories and plans among the crowd on board.
Overall it was a good trip. 9.5 hours on the ferry, and a total of about 200 miles. It was by far the farthest out to sea I'd ever been, and it was an interesting experience. While it was a beautiful day, the sea was relatively high and steady, creating a very, very regular rocking motion on the boat. About 6 hours in, most of us starting feeling less than stellar. I made it, barely, while some others did not.
