Getting ready for Dutch Harbor, Alaska

Thank you for following me on my journey to Dutch Harbor, Alaska. I will do my best to post pictures as often as I can (hopefully daily), so check back often. 🙂
I begin my journey on the morning of May 3rdwhen I fly from Miami to Seattle and then overnight in Anchorage, Alaska. I have my morning free to sight see and then fly three hours to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

Yes, this is the Dutch Harbor where they film the show “The Deadliest Catch.” On board the ship the Oscar Dyson I will be working with 15 crewmen and 8 scientists. We will board the 208 foot ship on the morning of the 5th to go through Federal Inspection, fire drills, man overboard drills, etc. The ship will disembark the following morning and return the morning of the 18th. Talk to you soon, Love, Ms. Schroeder
