kodiak (home, job market, schools)

[lgriff]

hello, I was really just looking for some local suggestion and comments on daily life in Kodiak. My boyfriend is a commercial fisherman for about 4 years now, and in order for me to EVER see him I have decided to move to Kodiak for awhile while he fishes close to this area for dec-feb. I am a little nervous to take on such an adventure by myself (he leaves in 4 days), and am just looking for some reassurance that this may prove to be an experience of a lifetime like I think it will. I am incredibly independent and get bored very easily so the whole job market kind of worries me. I have fear of being stuck at home in Kodiak in the middle of winter. Any comments will do. I take the good with the bad!

Two people I know of in Kodiak are presently engaged in some activities to keep them occupied in winter.

One is looking for a snowflake identical to another snowflake, (..no luck so far),



....and the other person is experimenting with different ways to prepare beavermeat so it won't taste the same at every meal.

Get ahold of these folks, they might have more to tell you.....

YOu can always ask to push the big red button at the rocket range.

Just remember you can't feed the bears!!!

Check out the local sports through the schools and community events too.

Good luck, its only for a couple of months.
