We did 12 to 13 hour shifts every day for 29 days straight at the fish hatchery in Alaska I worked at one summer. We were on a remote island and we our supplies by barge every 2 weeks if the weather was nice. Just don't be like me and fall in an empty 12 ft concrete pond when you're done. Not a fun float plane right home!

Sounds grueling!

I know it is tough. Still, try 63 straight 12 plus hour shifts at sea in the Indian Ocean. No family or friends or bars to go home to. Well, some friends.

It's concord grape harvest here. We work 12 hours a day until it's over. Hopefully only 10-15 days left.
