Boats!

Now that I'm home and life has done it's annual end of season realignment, it's time to start looking at next years needs. Even though the boat and equipment are winterized and stored, the maintenance program never stops. When tendering in the Bay, I couldn't get enough buoy coverage on the side of the boat. So I had a set of "pipe rails" welded to the aluminum "cap rails" on both sides of the boat. Now I can tie as many buoys as I want, wherever I want, to protect the side of the boat from nicks and dings. You can "never" have enough buoys when you're tendering. The pipe rails should work great!

I think I'm home?

Wow, it's October already. It's time to settle in for the winter season. The 2009 Cod, Salmon tendering, and Salmon fishing season is in the books. Done! It was a good season. There were no injuries, there was a fair amount of fish to catch, the equipment performed well and I brought home a nice batch of Coho for us to peddle. There weren't a lot of Coho in Kodiak this year, but the ones that did show up were beautiful.
