What a Fish!
Ms Jones, my wife, and our dog just finished a 325 mile trip from Juneau to Petersburg, around Kupernoff Island to Kake, through Rocky pass and Back to Juneau with a stop at Pybus Bay. Enjoyed the annual Little Norway festival in Petersburg. Ran into Djeffery in both Juneau and Petersburg and checked out his most beautiful craft. We settled on a name for the boat, it is Sa'sta, Gaelic for happy, just like my Irish Bride of 35 years.
Got the boat in some very steep 7- 8 footers in Sumner Straight. green water over the bow but not to wet of a ride with the bulwarks. Boat handled perfectly, but for a few minutes seemed much smaller than my 46 foot sailboat. All and all it handled the adverse waves quit well.
Ms Jones let me fish only until I filled up the room left in our onboard refrigerator. Therefore I was able to fish for a total of 10 minuets at the entrance to Rocky Pass before I caught this one and plugged the refer. Boat picture is in Pybus Bay, and also included a picture of Ms Jones sunbathing Southeast Alaska style.
