Felt Earthquake From Boat
As a follow up post to our Green Island trip I wanted to share a unique experience. While sitting with Charles and Anne on their 24′ aluminum boat at anchor in about 20′ of water we felt all of a sudden as if we hit something, or went aground. We jumped up, looked around and […]

Dipnetting – Kenai River
One of my favorite parts of summer is the sites and sounds and experience of holding a 20 foot pole connected to a 5 foot hoop of gill net and waiting for a big old sockeye salmon to whack into the net while standing in the surf of the Kenail river. With large numbers of […]
Maiden Voyage of the “Bounty Hunter”?
