Matt braved the wilds of the edge of the northwest continent. He flew out to Dutch Harbor with his older brother where they met up with his father and began to catch their fill of salmon. The following image was the taken on the only sunny day :) You know Matt's favorite weather is gray and drizzling rain - HA!!
They stayed in a 5 star hotel complete with turn-down service.
The story that he came home with was that of being out on the sea in a small boat with a tiny little motor that his father was in charge of running. There were 11ft. swells on each side of them. Matt clung on for dear life and both he and his father decided they'd better find some diapers if they were going to brave that again - because remember NOVICES are NOT invited.You'll also notice that he grew a beard for the wilds of Alaska - everyone but the kids lOVED the beard. He lasted for a week with it afterwards - and when he was satisfied with the burly beard that he was able to grow (ya know in case he ever needed a hair transplant) he promptly shaved it off.
And so concludes the adventure of Dutch Harbor (home to Deadliest Catch). Matt returned vowing to NEVER leave us again for that length of time - we'll see how long it lasts.

He looks good with a beard, no?
Its good to see Matt can finally grow a beard! I remember his attempt at growing a beard in High school when he went to Alaska for a month. It was... pretty sparse.
I liked the beard. :(
Wow, Dutch Harbor! I met my husband Andrew in Dutch Harbor. It's ruff and tough. Everybody has a beard there. Even the girls. I came home from working on the fishing boat and mine disappeared.
Thanks for the memories. Jennie Rounseville.
