The Big
Waves
When I was seven or eight years old
my sister and I went berry picking with Nick Isaac, his family and
his parents below Mtn. Village.
Going down it was nice and sunny out
the whole time and it stayed that way for two or three
days.
After we filled up all our
five-gallon buckets, Nick's parents wanted to go to Alakanuk and
visit some of their relatives. So we gathered all of our stuff,
brought it to Nick's boat and then headed down river.
While we were traveling, it started
getting rough, but it wasn't scary for us kids because we were having
fun bouncing in the waves. But later, as we got closer to Emmo, the
waves started getting bigger, and we kids were sitting in the bow of
the boat and making the best of it by bouncing around every time the
boat hit a big one. But when I looked at Nick's parents they told us
to quit having so much fun or the waves would get worse. Since the
boys didn't listen, I stayed up there with them trying not to let on
that I was scared.
The waves were so big, even the
adults were bouncing around really hard and having to hold on to the
side of the boat. Then Nick pointed to a barge, and I guess he wanted
us kids to move to the floor of the boat. But we all stayed up there
watching the big waves. Jason was kneeling on the top of the bow when
all of a sudden we hit a big wave, and Jason flew into the air and
almost fell out of the boat. That was when I finally decided to move
and sit back by my sister.
The waves were about 15 feet high
Nick said later. But now, whenever he brings it up we laugh about it
because we kids didn't listen to his parents, and we were really
scared.
