Hey we are together. Pauline managed to make it to Seward in time to go out and watch Mark and Crew do some tugboat work for a while. Then the crew took us out to dinner at the salmon bake to thank Pauline for making the cushion cover for the bridge settee. Pauline didn't like Mark's bush beard so there is a before and after picture.

Mark is in Seward and is going to get a few days off. So Pauline is flying up and they will get some time together. A few days in Seward and then some in Anchorage. Hopefully they will get a week together.
So while Mark is at work on the Fish Hawk, what is Pauline doing?
Well, nothing very exciting. She goes to work during the week and on weekends, she has chores.
Being apart for so long takes a little getting used to. Pauline had to put on her big girl pants and fend for herself. Some days are better than others, but she is coping.
Her oldest (actually longest) best friend came up to Alaska in June so Pauline took a week off and spent time with her in Anchorage and Seward. It was a very welcomed break as she had not been away from Sitka since December 2019.
Mark’s sister, Chris, took a job as a travel nurse in Ketchikan and she came to visit Pauline in Sitka over a weekend in July. They had a great time playing tourists.
The number of people who tested positive in Sitka is very high. For a town of less than 8,000 we had over 200 active cases. So Pauline is trying to social distance and staying healthy.
