July 19, 2009
It rained all night and rained all day. Instead of fishing, we read the newspaper, and try (unsuccessfully) to troubleshoot some problems with the RV. Our travel home is ten years old now and like any older home has maintenance issues. I am normally good at fixing things. RV home repairs are another story. They can be exceedingly tricky. Parts are not off the shelf (especially in Alaska) and getting access to the problem is sometimes impossible unless you have tiny hands and are a contortionist. RVs were meant to be compact, not maintainable.
The whole time we have been on the western side of the Kenai, I have watched people stream thru the campgrounds with coolers full of fish to be cleaned. I started off being frustrated in trying to perfect a sockeye salmon fishing technique. Not anymore. They are all residents with dip net fish. Not a one was caught by a visitor with a fishing pole.
