It suddenly hit me this morning how much I miss my job, it's weird, It's not as if there's anything glamorous about being a fisherman, but I miss it like crazy. I miss deep sea fishing, I miss the San Enterprise, I miss being away from reality for 3 months at a time, the way the boat used to list in bad weather and having to walk sideways for a whole day, the storms and dodging them, hiding in Auckland Islands waiting for it to pass, I miss not seeing land for weeks on end, the helicopter rescues, crashing into reefs (lol Dick u didnt deserve the sack for that) crashing into the wharf, the amazing people I worked with, I miss 6 weeks paid holiday, I miss it all :o(
I sorta miss the Lady Dorothy, our wee inshore boat, piece of crap that it was lol, always reminded me of Forrest Gump's shrimp boat except Lady Dot was blue, I was in the early stages of pregnancy while I was on there and spent most of my time with my head over the side lol. That boat, ugh, I always came home stinking of diesel, oil and fish oh and vomit :o) Thank fuck we were only out for a few days at a time, it got to the stage whenever I got the call to say we were goin out, I felt sick instantly lmfao, damn boat.
