Hard Top Idea
Hoping to build something like this so that we can be dry and toasty on the back deck and have room for a dance up top. handrails
Gulf Crossing Map
We had no print maps for the gulf crossing, counting on digital maps but we did have this one map that we got while we were in Yakutat and we kept it at the helm just to make sure that we did not end up in Japan. Cheers, Joe
Dipnetting Nirvana
As I type this email the skin from one finger is rolled down like a sock from being caught in the gill net trying to get a salmon out – isn’t it great?!! We are back and cleaning up after what is truly an Alaskan experience and one that will give everyone involved wonderful memories […]
Ziegler Cove & Coxe Glacier
Trip Photos Had a wonderful trip out in Ziegler Cove and then onto Barry Arm to dance around with the ice bergs and calving glaciers. The glaciers were not very active but it was great to hang out amongst the majesty and share the experience with friends and family. It was nice to re-visit this […]
