View from the wheelhouse

[JDCAVE]

Another view from the wheelhouse: a pod of Rizzo's dolphins. A first sighting for us! They are like ghosts travelling through the water. Some are almost white.

Looking up North West Bay yesterday morning, one of those beautiful winters days.

If those were my footprints, they'd be running back to the boat at water's edge!

It's time for a pedicure.

What an adventure you're having this year. Survey boat, Louise and now the Risso dolphins. I bet there aren't more than half a dozen on here who have seen a Risso on our coast.
I haven't.

Nice catch, where was that?

Here's the culprit. We saw him the next day. We stayed close together, dog on tight leash. She was very good and just watched as he came near. A bit spooky alright. Apologies for the poor photo.

Thanks for the wolf pic. Big boy! They interest me, I used to have German Shepherds. Closest I came to seeing one live and wild was a butt and tail disappearing down a slope off the road near Banff.

For a few days now, every time you attach a photo, it doesn't show. Instead there is this:
Photobucket

Today I paged through some of it and there are no photos such as your titles suggest. Instead you appear as if hacked.

I won't be trying to see what you have attached until they start to look normal again.

Happened to me, too, koliver. Photobucket apparently changed their rule re: posting http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/s3/s3/ HTML tags on forums. They're trying to sell us upgraded subscriptions to allow forum posting.

In the meantime, we're stuck with those stupid PB demand billboards. Strikes me as extortion, so I'm bailing on them completely.

Here's what I think of Photobucket...

(There's an image shown now...we'll see how long they leave that up there...)

EDIT: I don't think that image was displayed 12 hrs before they took it down.

Photobucket wants me to pay several hundred dollars a year to share my photos with third parties.

Anybody know a better photo site. Two others I dealt with prohibited that.

We saw them in Crescent Inlet, north of the Gwaii Haanas boundary. It was a first for us and I confirmed the identity with the veterinarian from the Vancouver Aquarium.

Fewer Humpbacks in the Central coast this year. We saw a couple outside of Rose Harbour but none when we crossed Hecate. We hope to cross Hecate on Friday.

Love going to Montreal! My new avatar pic is in (Valleyfield) Montreal. We went up there to tow the new "Freedom Tower" antennas back to NY to be installed. They are the barge cargo. Manufactured in Canada. 3 or 4 years ago.

I'm reading Flo Anderson's Lighthouse Chronicles. She and her husband were keepers there, 1964-1966. She has some amazing photos of is structures from hurricane force winds hitting the Island.

Don't think you are gonna get a ticket for parking there!! [emoji290]

Well perhaps not the most scenic possible images around, but I'm just happy that I got the boat back into the water after spending time repairing stuff during the spring and first half of the summer/boat season.

The images are from the first short (2,5 hour) test drive a week ago.

Whoa...that's one sleek/slippery/seaworthy boat you have there!

It is indeed slippery. It's also low and narrow. Space is certainly not one of the commodities. But I like it. Lightning fast. 8,2 knots cruising/hull speed with just a little bit of throttle.

What engine and how many nautical miles per gallon? Please...

Hope I did not miss answers to these questions in previous posts.

Really Cool Looking!

Sun setting in Active Cove slot between Patos and Little Patos Islands. Canadian Gulf Islands (Saturna and Tumbo Islands) in the background. Taken by fellow trawler owner Pete Peterson last night from the anchorage in Shallow Bay, Sucia Island in the San Juan Islands.

Very very nice Larry.
And I'm not a fan on sunset pics.

These views are from my buddy's boat while on a whale watching run last fall. Although we get our fair share of sunsets here in San Diego, my favorite views are out at sea where the occasional whale, dolphins, sharks and pelagics surface.
