A morning on the Silvertip

Poppa Ronnie teaching Oscar the ropes at the helm.

Pulling in to Silver Lining Seafoods/Trident to offload Poppa's catch.

A US Coast Guard buoy tender & a seiner heading north in the Tongass Narrows.

Float planes were taking off and landing constantly.

The Diamond Princess cruise ship was one of four in port today.

Poppa working hard in the fish hold to fill up the large white bucket they use to hoist the salmon up to the dock where they weigh and grade them.

Eleanor & Oscar watching from above.

Up comes the full bucket!

Where did he go?

There he is!
Poppa popping up out of the "woodchuck hole" as he calls the lazarette. It's a storage area for gaff hooks, lines, bumpers, etc.

Oscar trying to help Poppa melt ice with the hose so he can make sure the fish holds are empty.

It was an extreme low tide, the children had fun looking at tube worms, starfish and anenomes.

Clipper & Oscar being silly!

Tying up back at the dock.
