Nash Family Fish

Turn-around days. The sweet snippets of time in between those long trips at sea where we try to fit it all.

Rest, recuperation, play, clean up, re stock supplies, family time, solo time- all the things. We really made the most of it this turn around and all felt restored in some big ways. Especially this young one whose fishing reel was majorly upgraded for our daily excursions on the docks catching and releasing some fascinating creatures.

We don’t expect to see Captain Chris and crew between each trip, and mostly we just try to keep a mindset that we’ll just see them in September. Making these times all the more precious. And our aspirations to get aboard all the more highly anticipated.

The wild places draw us.

Societal expectation to grind may try to tame us but we always return to the wild spaces. Nurturing our feral natures, adult and child alike.

The concept of grounding comes in many forms. 🌅🌊🏔

Distance makes the heart grow fonder;
At least that’s what we tell ourselves these times apart. (And the work strengthens him to carry both these growing boys simultaneously 😋)

Chris and his trusty crew member is at sea and the boys and I are holding down the fort ashore for now, although the requests from the young ones to go on the Orion are becoming incessant. For now though we are fishing small poles off the dock for fun holding the other part of our family in our hearts.

A beautiful King and a stoked crew member, a priceless combination!

Three years now we’ve been fortunate enough to know Cole and his immense stoke level, supreme positivity, and drive to fish as much as possible! This guy literally gets done fishing with us in Alaska and heads home to Wisconsin to ice fish the winter away!

I’ve been quiet here for the sake of relocating our family to the outer coast yet again in Sitka 🥰 Chris and Cole are at sea and the kids and I are fishing off the docks. We’re anxious to get aboard when the time is right. For now we are settling in, immensely grateful to call this fishy place home again.
