Happy Father's Day to all you dads!



June 16 - Happy Father's Day,
It's supposed to get up to 76 degrees today.   Ya gotta love this Alaskan weather.    Glen and Dean have gone fishing.  I'm doing laundry (on board) and trying to get caught up on some of my web based stuff.  Downloaded a ton of emails this morning and hope to get through them today.   Making a few phone calls as well.    
YIPPEE!!!!   Pete and Linda on Rendezvous has rejoined the flotilla.   They left us several weeks ago (May 16th I think) for their repairs.   They are floating and all systems seem to be working well.   So for the next few weeks at least we will have 6 boats in our flotilla.   Great times ahead.
It is very hot today, close to 80 degrees with very little wind.    Some are fishing or thinking about fishing.   Note - they do not call it catching for a reason.  
We are going to go by dink to another location to see some totem poles this afternoon.      Group decided not to go to the totem pole place today, will likely go in the morning.
Nat went swimming, yep Nat not Glen.   Everyone was surprised that Glen did not go into the water.  Water temp 59 degrees at two feet down.  I got a great photo of Nat acting like a whale. 

Natmu the whale!

Nice job Nat!

Group split up into smaller groups for dinner after deciding that trying to seat 16 on one boat would be pretty tough.   Chris made blueberry pie for the dad's since it is father's day.   Topped it with ice cream.
Jim Matheson called us this evening.  He and Cheryl are in Hoonha today.  Glen had a nice chat with Jim.  We sure hope to cross paths with them sometime this summer.
11pm - four boats worth are tired and are headed or have gone to bed.  Miner's and Nelson's are still partying.
