not a bad way to spend the day (sun came out eventually too)
capt really loves the fish
2 in a row!
Ryan's first keeper
got a keeper finally
waiting for anothe bite
Irish Lord - not a keeper and not that cute
Jason's #2
another one snagged
Jason's first catch of the day
bring it on up
now we are reeling them in (capt had me throw a few back in hopes of bigger ones - each person has a 2 halibut limit per day)
no shotgun needed, just a beating by the captain
got thrown back - we watched the capts pole go overboard with a skate later in the day :(
just a skate - lot of work for nothing
ryan's got a big one
Captain holds up first fish of the day - it was thown back, but opened the flood gates
preparing the bait (looks like a "keeper" in the midwest)
hearty breakfast of (cinn/raisin) bagels and lox
it's a gray morning, but that keeps the waters calm
no caption needed
me and Jason
otter here
eagle bench
chainsaw contest every year- sculptures were on display
look out
another eagle on Seldovia (near the Dancing Eagle B&B - must he his namesake)
feeling the waters
Jackalof Bay Rd
backseat ride
view of Jakalof Bay
ryan drove, Jason videoed
our ride
we were in an ATV type thing - we don't need no stinking bridges
he said it was too cold to go swimmin'
perspective - do you see Jason?
he did get closer before he turned around
beautiful Alaska
Ryan exploring
Jason wanted to get closer to the clouds
Red Mountain
Jason was playing in the water
Rugged Ryan
We got a Ranger (ATV/Golf Cart?) and trekked about 20 miles in to Red Mountain
eagle - from our balcony
view from our balcony
time to explore a new small town in Alaska
Seldovia - we actually stayed at the hotel on the left
weaving through the water on the ferry
looking at the scenery
