We have made it to Fort Nelson BC. We bagged 9 halibut total including a 60 pounder that Josie reeled in. The trailer tows great and the truck tows the whole package a lot better than I thought it would. We are 63’ long and unknown weight. I paid 16k for the boat which at this point I do agree...

Well, we’ve had a few very busy days. We inspected and made some minor repairs and so forth to make Merlin usable for the trip. We’ve had three days in Auke Bay and the boat has performed wonderfully. It is a joy to drive compared to Hammerhead which is woefully underpowered in my opinion. It’s...

Thanks Ed I sent you a PM We arrived in Skagway after a 3 day drive from home in La Center. Some of you may know that the road in to Skagway is very very steep and quite long. It is absolutely beautiful. But it is so steep that I decided to change my return ferry ticket to Haines as I don't...

I’ve been using progressive for Hammerhead and have added Merlin to the same policy. I am paying $1002 per year for comprehensive on both boats. I found it interesting that Merlin‘s insurance was more even though I valued it at less. I’m guessing it has to do with the length? Another thing I...

I’m hoping to submit photos of Hammerhead and Merlin this year

We are going to be in Juneau for a week starting on July 8th. We will be fishing out of Merlin, our new 26, provided it is seaworthy. It would be cool to meet up with someone who knows the area.

There are different grades of stainless also and the lesser grades will rust too. Even high grades that are contaminated with carbon steel will get rust spots on them. Contamination can happen simply by using the same saw or file that has been used on carbon steel. My roof rack and fillet table...

Thanks for keeping this going. I’ve got some to submit this year
