Tom's Summer

During the summer Tom worked on his cabin for his boat. He said it took him two weeks to build the cabin on his boat. Another thing he had to do on his boat was repair the motor. He frequently had motor problems throughout the summer.

Tom did some fishing during the summer (both commercial and sport fishing). Tom's commercial fishing was poor. Because of motor problems, he had to come back to Marshall and he missed some openings. Another reason he did poorly was that he didn't hit the openings right. Tom's sport fishing experience was bum too. He went on several camping trips with his family back to Cuelenguq and to Kayakutaq. But they didn't see anything except some birds.

During the summer Tom also traveled to several villages, including Russian Mission, Bethel, St. Mary's and Pitka's Point.

The thing he said he enjoyed most about his summer was going camping with his family.
