Everything Starts With One: final post

“Don`t worry boys,everything starts with one” were the words passed on to us by Capt. Georage Cuculich, aboard the seine boat New Oregon some 40 years ago. After months of preparation in port, over 100 hours of sea travel to the Alaska fishing grounds, and with visions of making a fortune, our first attempt to corral a school of fish produced only one 2.5 lb. pink salmon. As it hit the deck, so did the jaws of the disillusioned crew. However, what seemed like a doomed beginning to the greenhorn fishermen was in fact a hopeful sign to the wise and weathered mariner,for now the season had really begun.

I am not disillusioned with my first two courses at Goucher,but I do now realize just how much there is yet to learn about cultural sustainability. Effort will need to be made, and many miles traveled on the voyage to a MACS degree. But we have begun the season. Everything starts with one.
