I joked around before leaving for this trip, telling my wife that I wanted to be the guy who implements a cross-fit style bootcamp workout plan aboard boats for those who are stuck on the water. Well, a few of us have been collaborating and squeezing in a few really good workouts on deck when the waters are calm. Tonight, we had three of us out there doing a bunch of fun and difficult routines. There was military press and curls with the 30lb shackles, shaking ropes off of the stern cleat, pull ups on the side of fidley, push ups, sit ups, and bench press using a 60lb shackle. Then we grabbed a large mallet and started taking turns beating up one of the lines that was wrapped around the H-bit. Awesome and creative workout, plus the three of us just had fun hanging out in the sunshine before dinner. It was a cool Sunday afternoon in the Bering Sea (Bristol Bay) while we waited for the the high tide and the entrance to Naknek. We swore that we would do this workout whenever the seas are calm enough for us to be on deck without getting slapped with waves. We also made a jump rope, and then made an even bigger jump rope out of 2" line that was essentially a workout just to spin.. After all that, we went in and played UFC on Xbox, had awesome BBQ ribs, corn on the cob and salad then hit our racks. Probably one of the best Sundays one could have in these parts of the world. An ice cold beer in there would have been nice, but there are rules against that.
