Sad Day!!

Well the end is in sight…always a sign when you have to empty your boat and stow your gear. My small boat got pulled today and pressure washed, ready to be transported in to town for the winter tomorrow. I have one more day of fishing on the big boat with guests, then it is time to pack up all the fishing gear and do an inventory of what we need for next year, button up the Lodge, get laundry done and pack for home.

Trip Home – Itinerary!

My trip home this year will be another adventure! All planned and ready to go.

Leave Yes Bay Lodge by boat on the Friday the 25^th of September, a day in town running a few errands and then board the Alaska Ferry at 9:00 PM for an overnighter to Prince Rupert in Canada, arrive early in the morning. Check in to a hotel and spend one night in Prince Rupert.

Sunday morning departure aboard the Canadian Railway – “Skeena” for a day trip to Prince George. Overnight there in a hotel, then Monday morning the 28^th early morning departure again on the Skeena to Prince Rupert. This should be a beautiful trip through the Canadian Rockies by train, I am really looking forward to it. Arrive in Jasper BC in the late afternoon and meet a friend of mine from Montana who is driving up to spend a few days taking pictures and enjoying the wildlife around Jasper. Then we are going to drive down to his place in Kalispell where I will spend a night or two and explore Montana.

Then an overnight bus trip from Kalispell to Salt Lake City, where I am meeting up with another friend and I will spend a night or so at his place before flying to Ohio on Monday the 5^th of October to visit family for a week. Flight back to St Petersburg is scheduled for Monday the 12^th of October arriving in the afternoon.

Make sure you stay in touch and look for some pictures posted of my journey on the blog.

Pictures for today - explanation!

One of those days when you wish you had the big cameras with you, but thank goodness for my little Stylus 790 waterproof point and shoot. Waterproof was a necessity today as it rained and rained. Anyway, spent time out fishing with the big boats today there were several trollers working the area and I hope they were doing better than we were, but anyways a couple nice shots of working boats, then there was a beautiful rainbow that warranted a couple shots!!

Enjoy,

Capt Jim
