Hey this is Louis from Bella Bella. Just about to start week 6 in the Goose Island internship and it only feels like its been 2 weeks since we’ve started. It’s been one heck of an experience. We’ve been doin lots of work all over Goose Island finding out a lot about the plants and animals. And to tell you the truth it barely seems like we’re working. We’ve been hiking, fishing, hunting and even been at the edge of B.C. on a punt. As a matter of fact we went to the Goslings this week to check out all the sea lions. Half way there we ran into a pod of killer whales, it was pretty frickin awesome! I mean I live only an hour or two away from this place and I barely EVER see killer whales. But this Monday was by far my favorite day so far during this internship. It started off as a normal day, we did a deer pellet survey, then bug traps but after that was when the fun began. We went to go pick the long line that some of the other guys had set up earlier. Geezus, we musta got nearly 20 fish and about 11 of them were halibut the others were lingcod and one was some ugly squishy tenticle bottom creature anemone. That was pretty cool, got a little bit of blood on the boat. But that wasn’t even the best part, we later went the lagoon to do some hunting. Still looking forward to the next couple weeks of work.
