Today is a holiday at complete peace.

We were supposed to meet a boat in Whittier to take our crew out catching sea lions over the next 1 1/2 weeks. But we get there and... no boat. I turns out that icing and weather slowed their trip over from Kodiak. They'll be a day late.

So now, instead of being on the boat working, I'm here with my family, it's a holiday (Veterans' day), all my stuff is completely packed and ready to go in the car...

What a peaceful way to spend 24 hours.
