Mabwenzi adalimbikitsidwa kupyolera muzochitika zina ndi zovuta zomwe zimakumana bwino.
Ndinali ndi mwayi wokhwima ku Seattle, Washington, "kona ya kumanzere" kumbali ya United States. Kwa ine, Alaska anali maloto ochepa kwambiri kusiyana ndi ana a ku Maine kapena Florida, Arizona kapena Texas. Ena a iwo adakalipo pomwepo, ndipo ndinakumananso ndi anyamata ochokera kumadera akutali monga Wales ndi Israeli panthawi yomwe ndinali pa boti la ku Alaska. Koma awa anali anthu apadera; osayenerera mopitirira muyeso, mukhoza kunena. Kupuma mopepuka.
Kufika ku Alaska
Nanga bwanji za ophunzira omwe apita kusekondale posachedwa akuyang'ana koyambirira, kapena ophunzira a koleji omwe akuyenera kulipira maphunziro ndi kugula mabuku kuti akwaniritse maloto awo? Nanga bwanji mamiliyoni onse a anthu omwe amawonera Akufa Akugwira pa Discovery Channel ndipo mwadzidzidzi amamva kukoka kwa nyanja? Ambiri a iwo amaganiza za kupita ku Alaska kukagwira ntchito pa boti, kuphatikizapo.
Iwo ali ndi malingaliro osadziwika a zozizwitsa zosangalatsa ndi ndalama zazikulu, koma iwo alibe lingaliro la momwe angapitirire. Ngati ndinu mmodzi wa anthu amenewo, mumapita bwanji ku Alaska ndikupeza ndalama?
Chabwino, inu mukhoza kuchita izo momwe ine ndinachitira. Mungathe kugawana ndalama za makumi awiri ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi, ndikuwombera kudutsa ku British Columbia, kulandira kukwera kwa magulu achiwawa komanso achipembedzo.
Gonani pansi pa matebulo osakanikirana. Pezani chombo chakumwera chakum'maŵa kwa Alaska, ndipo mutatsala masenti khumi. Yendani pazitsulo mosasamala, ndipo potsirizira pake mudzalembedwe ku boti losodza ngakhale osadziwa mtundu wake. Inu mukhoza kuchita izo mwanjira imeneyo, koma ine sindikulangiza izo. Chimene ndikulimbikitseni ndikuti mufufuze pa intaneti kuti muwone ngati pali njira yodzigwirizira ndi oyendetsa ngalawa musanapite kumpoto. Ngati muyang'ana pamalo abwino, mungapeze zambiri zokhudzana ndi ntchito komanso zoopsa zogulitsa nsomba, komanso madalitso aakulu.
Kugwira ntchito pa Bwato la Nsomba
Kotero, zimakhala bwanji kugwira ntchito pa bwato la nsomba? Chinthu choyamba kumvetsetsa ndikuti Alaska ili ndi nyanja yamakilomita oposa 9,000, ndipo zombo zambirimbiri zimatha kugwira ntchito kumeneko, ndikutsata mitundu yambiri ya zamoyo ndi nsomba za m'nyanja. Kuchokera pamagulu a salmon 28-foot omwe amakoka mizere yolemera ndi nsomba zolimbitsa nsomba zochepetsetsa zogwira nsomba zokhazokha zogwira nsomba imodzi yokongola panthawi, kukhala ndi "oyendetsa sitima" akuluakulu omwe makoka awo ali aakulu mokwanira kuti ayame Astrodome, kwa ngalawa zomwe zimapangidwa wotchuka pa Mapulogalamu a Gawo la "Kupha Anthu Onse", palibe yankho losavuta pa funso lakuti moyo umakhala bwanji pa bwato losodza.
Komabe, ndikukuwuzani za gigs yowonjezeka kwambiri yomwe mungathe ku Alaska; ntchito ya chilimwe pa ngalawa ya saumoni yotchedwa "pur-seiner" (yotchedwa "say-ner"). Ndimo momwe ndinayambira.
Kutalika kwa kutalika kwa thumba la ndalama ku Alaska ndi mamita 58. Ndilo malire ofunika kwambiri a boma omwe amatanthawuza kuti asatetezedwe bwino kugwira nsomba pakati pa zombozi. Popeza mabwatowa ndi aakulu komanso otalika, nthawi zambiri amakhala omasuka. Ogulitsa nsomba amawoneka mosavuta ndi zida zawo. Ogulitsa nsomba ali ndi chovala cholemera kwambiri, chomwe chimapangitsa kuti pulojekiti ikhale yopitilira, ikuwonekera motalikira komanso imagwirizanitsa pa ofesi ya ntchito. Kuchokera pa boom pamakhala phokoso lamagetsi, ng'anjo yothamangitsidwa ndi magetsi yomwe imachotsa ukonde m'madzi.
Atsogoleri
Ogulitsa nsomba amakhala ndi antchito asanu, kuphatikizapo woyang'anira.
Aliyense akuyembekezeka kulowa nthawi iliyonse komanso kulikonse komwe kuli ntchito, koma ntchito zina zodziwika nthawi zambiri, koma nthawi zonse, zimagwera kwa anthu ogwira ntchito omwe ali nawo kale.
Wogwira ntchitoyi amayendetsa njinga yamtundu wapamwamba kwambiri, akukweza mapeto a kachikwama konyamulira kachikwama kake kamene kakalowa mumadzi ndikukongoletsera nsombazo. Amagwirira ntchito mwakhama ndi woyang'anira , yemwe amalankhula ndi iye pa wailesi zokhudza kukhala ndi "mawonekedwe" a ukondewo.
(Mwa njirayi, timagwiritsira ntchito mawu omveka bwino a masculine kuti tipewe mosavuta komanso kupewa masewera olimbitsa thupi. Timasankhiranso kalembedwe kameneka, chifukwa tawona kuti akazi ambiri omwe timawadziwa, omwe amagwira ntchito yosodza, amadziyesa " asodzi, "posankha mwambo wamtunduwu kuti ukhale wovomerezeka kwambiri pazandale komanso wotchuka kwambiri," asodzi. "Mulimonsemo, akazi amakhala ndi kuchulukitsa kwa magulu onse a antchito ndi skippers. Timamva kwambiri kuti nsomba zamalonda za Alaska makampani ndi abwinoko chifukwa cha akaziwa, ndipo tikuganiza kuti zochepa zomwe zimayenda sizikanatsutsana.)
Wopanga injini , omwe nthawi zambiri amalowa wobwerera kapena "greenhorn" ali ndi mawotchi, amachititsa kuti injini ndi makina azigwira bwino ntchito.
A greenhorn , mwa njira, ndi atsopano ndi osadziŵa crewmember. Nthawi zonse kumbukirani kuti aliyense wogwira ntchito ndi kapitala ku Alaska nthawiyina anali wobiriwira. Mitundu ya Greenhorns nthawi zambiri imapatsidwa ntchito ya deckhand.
Deckhands amachita pang'ono ponse ndipo amayembekezeredwa kuti ayambe kuchita khama ndikuphunzira nthawi zonse. Kuponya ukonde ngati ukwera pabwalo; kukonza maukonde ndi zipangizo zina pamene akuvala ndi kuvula; akuponya nsomba mu nsomba; kutsegula nsomba kumapeto kwa tsiku; Kuwongolera mawindo ndikuthandizira kusunga ngalawa ndizochepa mwa ntchito zosawerengeka zomwe zidzaphunzidwe ndi chodabwitsa.
Poyerekeza ndi ntchito pa njanji zamakono kapena mabwato a halibut, tsiku logwira ntchito pamtunda wa sealm ndi ngati kuyenda mu paki. Malinga ndi zomwe munaphunzira kale, komabe mwina mungakhale njira yovuta kwambiri yomwe mwakhala mukuitenga.
Masikuwo ndiatali. Ngati ofesi ya usodzi amapereka kayendedwe ka tsikulo, izi zikutanthauza kuti nsomba idzatseguka kwa maola makumi asanu ndi anayi mphambu asanu ndi limodzi molunjika. Kapitao wanu, pokhapokha ngati sangakhale achilendo, nthawi zonse amafuna kuyesetsa kuti azigwira nthawi yotseguka.
Izi zikutanthauza kusodza kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka mdima.
Zida Zokonza
Pachikwama cha ndalama, gawo lalikulu la ntchito limaperekedwa kuzokonzanso kupanga mapepala. ("Sungani" ndilo mawu operekedwa pa ndondomeko yowonetsera ndikuchotsa ukonde, njira yomwe imabwerezedwa kangapo tsiku lililonse.)
Kusindikiza kwambiri kumakhala pafupi kwambiri ndi gombe, komwe sukulu za nsomba zosamuka zikuwoneka pazing'ono kwambiri. Pamene ogwira ntchito akuyang'ana chipinda ndi zipangizo zokonzekera, woyendetsa sitima amaphunzira momwe zinthu ziliri zamtunda ndi zamakono, kuwala, mphepo ndi machitidwe a nsomba kuti adziwe komwe angapange. Panthawiyi ndikugwira ntchito, bwatoli limagwiritsidwa ntchito kumbuyo kwa woyendetsa sitimayo, ndipo munthu wamba akupita kumalo ake oyendetsa sitimayo, ndipo injini ikuyenda mosalowerera.
Atafika pamalo ake osankhidwa, woyendetsa sitima akuitanitsa gululo kuti liwamasule. Tsopano kumasulidwa, ndikukwera kumapeto kwa ukonde, njinga imatembenuka ndi magalimoto kumalo, nthawi zambiri amayang'anizana ndi pafupi kwambiri ndi nyanja yamphepete mwa miyala.
Woyendetsa sitima amayendetsa sitimayo kuchoka pamtunda, ndipo ukonde wamtunda wa makilomita-kilomita umatuluka kumbuyo.
The Tow
Pamene womaliza wa ukondewo amachoka kumbuyo kwa woyendetsa sitima, woyendetsa sitima amatha kukwera pang'onopang'ono motsutsana ndi mapeto ake, atagwira ukondewo mofanana.
Nsomba za mabokosi zimamangidwa m'magulu atatu: corkline pamwamba pamwamba strung ndi buoyant floats otchedwa "corks"; zojambulazo (zomwe zimatchedwanso "mesh") za ukonde womwe uli pansi pa corkline, ndi chingwe cholemera (chingwe chakuda, nylon ndi zikopa zamkati) mmunsimu. Mphepete mwa corkline ikuyandama pamwamba pa madzi, intaneti imapachikidwa pansi m'madzi ngati mpanda, ndipo mzere wolemerawo umapangitsa "mpanda" ukulendewera m'madzi.
Nkhonoyi imakhala pafupifupi maminiti makumi awiri, panthawi yomwe ogwira ntchitoyi amaponyera nsomba iliyonse yomwe ili pamphepete mwa nsanja ndikugwetsa malo ogwira ntchito kuti awutse nsomba zam'madzi. Kaŵirikaŵiri mumakhala mphindi zochepa kuti mupumule ndi kutenga sangweji kapena khofi panthawi yamphongo. Panthawi ya tchire, woyendetsa sitima ndi skiffman akugwiritsira ntchito nsomba yotseguka kuti nsomba ikhale yosambira. Kumapeto kwa chiwongolero, woyang'anira akuwuza munthu wamba, ndi wailesi, "kutseka." Kumva izi, deckhands ndi ophika akuphika m'madzi awo ndi magolovesi kuti athe "kuyendetsa galimoto."
Kutseka Net
Wogwira ntchitoyo amatseka bwalo la ukonde poyendetsa pambali pamphepete mwa seiner ndikupereka mapeto ake kwa ukonde kwa ogwira ntchito. Kenako amachoka pansi paulendo wopanga madzi.
Kuyendayenda kupita kumbali ina ya seiner, amagwiritsa ntchito nsomba ina ku "boti lalikulu," limene amakoka ndi bwatolo kuti akalowetseko mofanana ndi ukondewo ngati akubwerera.
Pamene ukonde "watsekedwa," umangokhala ngati corral yaikulu m'madzi. Nsomba zomwe zimadumphira mumtsinje panthawiyi zimagwidwa, koma zimatha kuthawa pothamanga, chifukwa pansi pa ukonde ukuyandama, osapumula pansi.
Pofuna kuteteza kuthawa kwawo, ogwira ntchito "ankatenga" ndalamazo, pogwiritsa ntchito chikwangwani chachikulu chomwe chinakonzedwa pa sitimayo. Onetsetsani kuti mzere wautali wautali umatsekera pansi pa giant, mesh bag. Ndicho chimene chikutsatira. Ukadutsa, ndi nthawi yoti khoka lifike m'bwalo.
Mphamvu yamtunduwu imayendetsa mkuntho, ndikukoka ukonde kunja kwa madzi ndi pamwamba pa sitima.
Pamene ukonde umadutsa pamtunda, ndiye kuti umatsikira kumalo ogwirira ntchito, kumene anthu awiri kapena atatu ogwira ntchito amathirapo mulu.
Nsomba
Nsomba zimabwera m'bwalo lakumapeto la ukonde ndipo zimachotsedwa kumalo osungiramo zida kapena kutsogolo. Kupanga magalimoto kumatengera pafupifupi 15 minutes kwa abusa ambiri masiku ano. Antchito ogwira ntchito pa thumba lokonza ngongole amatha kukwaniritsa maselo 15 mpaka 18 patsiku.
Kotero, izo zimakupatsani inu chithunzi cha momwe zimakhalira kukhala ndi kugwira ntchito pa bwato losambira ku Alaska. Si kwa aliyense, ndipo ndimakonda, koma ndikuganiza kuti ndi ntchito yaikulu kwambiri ya chilimwe padziko lapansi.
Kupanga Luma ku Alaska
Zakhala pafupi zaka makumi atatu kuchokera pamene ine ndinayamba kupita kumpoto, ndipo ine ndiri wokondwa kuti ndinatero. Pambuyo panthawi yovutayi, maloto anga a dziko lokongola komanso ndalama zambiri adakwaniritsidwa nthawi iliyonse ndimakhala kumeneko, kuchokera ku Ketchikan kupita ku Nikolski, kuchokera ku Naknek kupita ku Dutch Harbor. Ndi malo okongola kwambiri, Alaska, ndipo akadakali chinthu choyandikana kwambiri, chomwe tili nacho m'dziko lino kuti tikhale ndi "mwayi wapadera." Chofunikira koposa, ndizoti zikuluzikulu zokwanira maloto ambiri. Mwinamwake wanu.
Winawake adanena kuti "mwayi ndi zomwe zimachitika pamene kukonzekera kukumana ndi mwayi." Choncho, dziwani nokha zomwe zilipo pa Intaneti zomwe zingapereke zonsezi, ndipo mudzakhala ndi mwayi wopanga mwayi wanu ku Alaska.
Ndipo nthawi zonse - monga momwe ndinkakonda kuuza antchito anga kumayambiriro kwa nyengo iliyonse - khalani anzeru, khalani otetezeka, ndi mwayi!
