I am anchored near Pennock Reef just west of Ketchikan. The Sea Star is pictured also at anchor.
Kissin cousins? Nah! Just a couple cruise ships descending on Ketchikan making ready to deploy their cargo of tourists upon the town!
I like this motto! The fish part. Although Grundens makes a pretty good product!
I hate going up in mast, 50 plus feet above water and steel deck. That's why I have Tony! Repairing mast light!
At the Potlatch wetting my whistle with Tony my chief!
Tony the chief. A strange little guy!
Obama is lookin in wrong place!
Harley the boat dog! He loves bein in that skiff, whether on deck or in the water!
