Well I downloaded all three books of Avatar: The Last Airbender during a town stop. This culminated in me spilling boiling tea into the keyboard of my laptop when we hit some swells 3 episodes before the end. So painful.

Okay I'll upload pics after I answer these initial questions.

1. Double check the shit out of shit. Triple check your double checks. Make a plan and stick to it. Never enter into a living situation with another human in a space smaller than your average bedroom that you CANT LEAVE.
2. Salmon.
3. No sorry, don't have the boat anymore and its a two person job anywhoo.
4. $54,000 for the boat, $6,000 for the permit, and about $3,000 for gear we needed. This was funded by fishing we had done on another boat that was ballin.
5. I work at a Hotel for Dogs now.

Well in one satanic day we managed to get hung up, hit a tide rip/whirlpool and have a auto-pilot malfunction all at the same instant. One of the pics in the album I'm uploading shows the squiggles we did on the map (I have a tracking software). That was the worst!

It was bad. The object of trolling is to run these four huge long metal lines back behind the boat, but you have to keep them separated because they each also have many smaller lines with hooks attached coming off of them so you have to run out these poles beside the boat and stuff so you can drag them along in the water without them them tangling. You can only make very gradual turns. So when the boat just started spinning in circles they all started wrapping around each other and the boat and these other things we drag in the water that are weights to keep the rocking down and then they got ensnarled with the hooks and of course there are heavy weights on the end of all the lines, and suddenly there were lines everywhere and they all had an amazing amount of pressure on them so they were very dangerous to touch because if they snapped they could do serious damage and if you didn't realize which way the pressure was coming from of what one snapping would release other lines to do you could get dragged over and whatnot. And they were damaging the wood of the boat on the sides and even on the bow. We really wanted to just hide inside and let them all break off but we were afraid of what they would take with them and rip off the boat so we had to start cutting them. Plus we were afraid to lose our custom stabilizer that was wrapped up. Needless to say there was lots of screaming at each other. We ended up losing all the gear in the end, which was probably $1500 or so, plus all the fish, plus multiple days spent in town repairing and buying new shit. Fuck that. That was probably the first or second most dangerous thing that happened I'd say.
