Boat is ready to go back in.  Lots of blood, sweat and more blood to get her to this point.  Haha, why the HELL don't I get a smaller fiberglass boat??

 I ordered my vinyl decals from @yellowdog again, but waited too long to get them on before I splash. Should have them soon, his work is worth the wait.

Moving her to fisherman's terminal tomorrow. 

Big shout out to Travis for the help - you are a stud!

The longline season is well underway, with fresh Alaskan halibut and black cod hitting the market.  I'm sure you've seen it in your local store.

It isn't all fun and games, however.  Two nights ago the halibut schooner Masonic went up on the rocks at Coronation Island, mayday call came across at 2:30 am. All hands safely lifted off by the coast guard.

Ya, it's an institution in Sitka.  Bill is a survivor, and I'm sure he'll get it going again. May have to write off this early season, but I bet by this fall he's fishing it again.

Plus, he'll finally get a place of honor on the wall at the P Bar  :chuckle:

That P-Bar pic was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post. They might have to start putting pics on the ceiling in there. When you heading north?

Today is the official first day of my 2019 season. Heading out of Neah Bay right now, going to spend the next 4 days on the ocean getting after kings and halibut. If any of you guys out fishing on the prarie tomorrow see me, feel free to do a drive by and throw me a barley pop.  I'll keep the net handy, and will post a thank you on the forum.
I'll also keep the camera handy for any of you that do a drive by and moon me, and will also post that on the forum...
