While I was sitting in the house reflecting on the good things of life and watching the sun poking out of the ground fog we sometimes have and thought of taking some of you for a scenic tour of nearby where we like to recreate.

Unlike some places where the weather is nearly constant and generally not much of a factor, in southeast alaska its almost the opposite.

and now the prize we were waiting for. A wild king salmon.
Thanks for going on a little boat ride. Maybe we can do it again sometime?
Thinks for the ride, friend.
Everyone is happy about the otters coming back, and they do help the kelp and the fish, but they eat a lot of crab.
Sometimes I think the discussion needs to be "how do we want things" more than "how do we make them like we aren't here."

Sal...stop and pick me up on the way out! :D Love it Gary, what a sight! 8)
Thanks Gary for taking us for a virtual ride though your beautiful State. If I could handle the winters and convince my wife to move, Alaska would be at the top of my list. I think I could adapt to the winter before I could get my wife to move though.

Yep, this is my favorite fishing show. Great pictures Gary. That's a lot of sea otters !! The lone wolf looks well fed
Nice pictures! That is a beautiful looking wolf.
