In Gustavus!

Ok, I've been bad, I know, but somehow in all the chaos of transitioning I've completely lost the blog. 

Update from the last few weeks:

 

April 29th: Duane and the Puppy arrived in Juneau! We had a great day together exploring the city and playing with the pooch. We've decided to name him Sigurd, or "Sig" for short. Sigurd Olsen is Duane and I's favorite author, so it only seemed natural that our norwegian dog should inherit his norwegian name. 

April 30th: The three of us jumped on a plane over to Gustavus from Juneau. We were lucky enough to have a high ceiling to fly over on, so Duane got to see all the snow capped mountains of AK for the first time from a small plane. 

May 1st to May 4th- We spent the days getting moved into the house, picking up the car from the barge, and both of us getting started with our jobs in Gustavus. 

May 5th- Sig and I took off for Haines. I had to go and teach a 3 day Kayaking Rescue skills clinic for the new staff in Haines, and Sig came with me to meet the crew in Haines. 

May 6th-8th- Rescue Training in Haines. Most of it was done in Pool Sessions, which I am really grateful for. Teaching rescues to new paddlers in cold water can be really challenging. The new staff made the best of the warm water in the pool and then we had our test out session in the ocean on Friday with the help of some dry suits. 

May 9th- Charter flight back to Gustavus. Both Sig and i were very excited to see Duane again and get back to our house. I must have been really exhausted because I slept for almost 16 hours or so when I got home. 

My camera is broken, so getting new pictures up is a bit challenging, but I'll try to get some pictures of the house and pup up soon!
