Today was my second day out. It was not as long as yesterday, we were out until about 1:30 PM. I wore my new pants I got from Walmart today. They were very comfortable. I made a sandwich for lunch again today, and I also packed a Gatorade that Uncle Art got for me from a shop. It was very nice of him. It was a bit foggy in the morning, but it went away quickly, and turned out to be a very sunny and hot day. Because of that, I had to wear a lot of sunscreen, because I had gotten burned yesterday, and it was even more sunny today so I wore a ton.

I never ended up eating my Lunch because the crackers and cherries that I packed were enough for me to snack on. During the work day today, we saw some jellyfish, saw a seal following our boat for food, and also found a huge branch of a tree stuck in one of the ropes of our traps. It was so big it could have been a small tree. It was cut at the end, and Uncle Art thought that it came from a tree from a nearby island. Today we were filling the bags half full with Herring, then putting 4 rock fish on top of the bag.

We ended up getting done around 1:30 PM, and I still had my sandwich. I decided to eat it when I got home. We got home around 2:00 PM, and I took a shower than had my Sandwich up by my laptop. Uncle Art said we have a shorter day tomorrow, maybe done by Noon or even before then, which is great! Then I get the whole weekend off. We hauled enough traps Wednesday through Friday that we don't have to haul again until Monday!
