After the massive week of hours on the glacier, the next one was prescribed as “on-your-own” recovery. I used it as an opportunity to go home to Fairbanks for a few days. It was nice to see a bunch of friends that are about to go off to college, hang with the family, and get a little sun. For those of you who think Fairbanks is in a deep-freeze year-round, I will have you know that it was 94 there on Sunday.

I spent a few of those days on the boat in Valdez, slaying the silvers… From the sounds of it, the salmon runs are a little weak in most places, but Valdez was an exception. One of the days, we limited out (24 fish for 4 people) in 2.5 hours! Meat locker!

Me, with the catch of the day!
