By week: the drydock
I work on a drydock on the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa. Welding, coatings and protection, propulsion, and repowers. The boats come out of the water, and we get them ready to go back in.

Drydock crew on the Mississippi. Boat life, travel, and always the ocean.
The story
I work on a drydock on the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa. Welding, coatings and protection, propulsion, and repowers. The boats come out of the water, and we get them ready to go back in.
My boat is slipped on the Mississippi, so days off mean the river. And when I can get away, it's the ocean and anywhere else worth exploring. Working to Wonder is about both halves: the work, and the wonder it pays for.
