A Day on The Bering Sea: by Mahone-chic-89
This is just a taste of what I think it would be like to leave Dutch Harbor and head out into the "vast Bering Sea"…
The sun rises slowly on the horizon. As you stand out on the dock in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, the orange rays begin to shed light into the dark Bering Sea sanctuary. The wind begins to stir as the waves lap steadily at the shore. Boats tied up at the dock jostle against one another, creaking and groaning. The salty air is refreshing and the light breeze runs through your hair, tantalizingly.
As you gaze over the water towards the Bering Sea, you suddenly feel a strong pull. It is as if the sea is calling out to you, begging you to come out to it.
Suddenly, your captain yells at you and tells you to get onto the boat. As you climb onto the deck, you feel both thrilled and terrified. Not every brave soul who ventures out into these waters comes home alive. But deep down you know that the only way to truly feel alive is to live your life on the edge.
As the boat pulls away from Dutch Harbor, it begins to pick up speed. You climb to the very front of the boat and hold onto the railing. As the ice-cold wind whips your face, you close your eyes and breathe deeply. The call of the ocean intensifies as you near the channel that leads out onto the Bering Sea. As you pass through the channel, your heart soars with excitement, fear, anxiety, and pride. You are not just a somebody…you are an Alaskan Crab Fisherman. You are one of the few who are brave enough and tough enough to face the most dangerous body of water in the world.
To anyone else this may not mean much, but to you it means everything. As the sun rises, you turn to face it. The rays warm your cold face as the boat slides out into the Bering Sea. Again the thrill of fear courses through your veins. But now you just smile. You laugh in the face of danger. This is what you live for.
And this…this is just another day on the Bering Sea.
