Hi all, just returned from Ketchikan last nite. It's good to be home and see some sunshine. The weather was not as bad as we had prepared for but was rainy and drizzly for the whole week. Temps stayed in the upper 50's and low 60's so it was not uncomfortable sitting out in the 20 foot boats all day for 5 days in a row. If it had been colder, it just would have been miserable for this ol' ex-southern Californian.
The boats had nice covers on them so unless you were at the stern, loading up the downriggers or hauling in that monster Halibut, you could stay under the cover. I drove the boat the whole time and when we would get a hook up, my buds would call for me to come get the rod, set the hook and reel 'er in. So I still got my share of action as well as about 75 lbs of Salmon and Halibut.
The lodge we went to was only a couple of years old. It was nice, bright and fresh. Each of the four units was two story with a complete kitchen. Although we prepared our own food, we ate well and healthy.
The bad news is that somehow, while trying to reset the powersaver setting on my digital, the last nite I deleted all my pictures. I did not discover that until on the plane headed home. I was going to review and weed out worthless pictures they were just gone. Poof! Made me quite sick.
I will have to wait until my compatriots burn me some cds of their pictures. I was, however, the busiest photographer in the group.
