When our old gas heater crapped out a couple years ago we sprung for a big fancy Mitsubishi heat pump with an inline air purifier. It’s always felt worth it but especially does right about now.

Just me and a couple dog walkers.

Can't tell if yer jokin', but there might be at least a kernel of truth to that. In any case, in addition to being achingly beautiful, huge and full of incredible geology and landscapes, Alaska gives us lower-48ers a chance to see what a mostly intact salmon ecosystem can look like, which means...

Is that a Great Horned Owl?

Thought of you when I was entering ye olde basse ponde this weekend. I didn’t capture the 40 feet of mucky mud I had to squish through to get to water. I exited the long way…has a firmer feeling bottom.

That’s horrible. I’m glad you are safe but very sorry to hear that. I hope it works out and if you need anything, we are here for you!

What, no blue yellow sword-marlin-hi? I’ll say! To the cor—er, graphite! That’s some very solid offshore fly action. Looks like just a solid trip all around. Well done, skipper.

We should do it. I’m planning to try this out at a float tube spot early tomorrow before the rain. At least I hope we get some rain.

Anyone know what the story is behind the name?

Astute observation!

I can get down with the Doobies, also steel wait who what now? Steely Dan did some interesting things for rock music nerds with a curiosity about jazz. Don’t sleep on the Gerry Rafferty. Also not really yachty but of the era and aesthetic I appreciate Harry Nilsson.
