2. We do have a washing machine. It uses the water from the creek so there is no HOT setting. There is a dryer but it isn't very good so we hang our clothes out on the line.
3. I mentioned before that we bathe every 3-4 days. We wear the same clothes for that time period too. Changing underwear and socks is purely personal - ha!
4. I also mentioned that we deliver our fish in slush ice. We have two ice machines down the beach in our boat house. They make ice chips from the water in the creek nearby. The ice is stored in totes so that it stays ready. These machines are also run by generator.
5. There are bathrooms in the main cabin and in our cabin. The crew (for the most part) uses the outhouse. That's right - outhouse!
6. We heat the cabins with either a wood stove or a propane or oil stove. The stoves we use to cook with, as well as our refrigerators and hot water heaters, are also run on propane.
7. Fresh produce is really hard to get out here. It also costs and arm and a leg. Judy has a nice green house that she grows, tomatoes, peas, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini in. She also grows lettuce, string beans, broccoli, and potatoes. We are both trying radishes this year and she's doing brussel sprouts. Nothing is ready to eat though usually until August and later.
8. We pick fish 3 times a day. The guys leave at 7 in the morning for the first one. They have breakfast when they get back in - no matter what that time may be. The 2nd pick is at 2 and the last one is after dinner at 7. We deliver our fish after every pick.
9. When fishing, breakfast is one of the following: pancakes and bacon, french toast and sausage, eggs and hash, or hot cereal with toast. So far Adam is the front runner with the most pancakes eaten!
10. We do have internet (after 5 when the power is on) but NOT when it rains. For some reason, we cannot get a signal in the rain.
That's it for now!
