The Emetic Chronicles of a Ship Physician–Part 3
Hey All,
We are currently in port in Seattle. The last port we were in was Ketchikan, Alaskaa very quaint little port town nestled at the base of glorious, green mountains. I felt so good that I disembarked from the ship. I took some nice pictures, bought some souvenirs and ate a Halibut burger at a cute little diner. I swear my waitress was an ex-wife of Mr. Stepford. Although her service was lousy I left her a two dollar tip to buy a personality. The trip from Ketchikan to Seattle was a doozy! Ralph made a serious attempt to knock down my bedroom door but I managed to keep him at bay with my new friend, Zofran. I had become a little cocky believing I had escaped Ralph’s clutches. When we left Ketchikan I silently challenged Ralph to “catch me if you can”, you know, a play on words….Some time after that Bonine and “The Patch” deserted me and I met Zofran.
Unfortunately my blog, which was meant to be a written account of my journey through Alaska has become an “Ode to my Entrails”. The good news is that I will be visiting most of the ports again. We will be leaving for another cruise to Alaska this evening. I plan to get off at most of the ports now that I have completed most of my training. Despite the unpleasant experience of seasickness, I am still looking forward to this next trip. Alaska really is beautiful and pristine.
Until then,
Bon Voyage,
Nat
I hope you stayed away from the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or Autonomous Zone, or whateverthe heck they’re calling it these days. I was in the area, wanted to give it a look-see, but felt it wasn’t worth getting soaked, as it was pouring rain.
Also not worth getting shot either, I suppose. Another shooting last night.
Moving in many ways.
