Got it covered, thanks!

Cool offer especially for anyone whom hasn't been through the locks on a boat before.

I think so, and we always have some fun on the boat.

What a incredible opportunity to see the inside passage.  I’m not surprised it was filled so quickly.  Be safe and enjoy...I’m am so damn jealous!

I'll never forget that you're one of the guys that helped me put the pieces in place to make this happen.   :tup:

 He still have the boathouse?


Yes sir he does,

I have all my vacation days spent already on hunting this fall or I would have been begging to float her back with you!

Be Safe!

It's that time - planning on making the run south again, taking names of folks who want to discuss jumping on for the trip (see first post).

Anticipated dates -

Pick up in Ketchikan on March 16th, sport fish halibut and spot prawns for a couple of days, then leave Ketchikan on Tues the 19th.  Arrive Anacortes late Friday night/early Sat.  All weather dependant, of course.

Additional duties this year will be to take pics for Jackelope, and be a taste-tester for any hooch that Special T brings on board when he meets us in Anacortes.   :chuckle:

It's a bit of a grind, but I make it as fun as I can.  Done the passage 10 times now, but it's a little different each time.  Always see some cool stuff.

And logs...We always see logs.  :chuckle:
