My apologies for being gone for so long... the intrusions of life just seem to keep happening. Here are some more pictures from the trip to Tenakee Springs, AK

Survivors of Captain Tuck's Eco-Fishing Boot Camp

First meet the man, the myth, the legend, Captain Tuck Harry...

Feared by men, revered by fish and obeyed by all!!

Some of his temporary crew... those who could not survive a full season of boot camp, but only stuck around for the holiday weekend!!

First among the survivors there's Wonderful Wyatt, Warrior Bait Boy....

Labouring by day

Compelled to party all night

And his faithful sidekick, Tucker, the Gallant and Delightful...

Able to hold up fish larger than himself

And always ready with a smile and a halibut steak...

And then there's CinderLisa, the Princess of Tenakee Springs; enslaved by the evil Darth Tuck...

But when all's said and done, at the end of the season, the survivors of CPT Tuck's Eco-Fishing Boot Camp are stronger, better, faster...

... and pretty well fed!!!

The World I leave In My Wake

Watching the world I leave in my wake
Pondering what it all meant
Knowing I cannot pass there again
Believing it time well spent

Watching the world I leave in my wake
Watching it all hurry by
Moments of joy and moments of love
Times when I sat down to cry

Watching the world I leave in my wake
A wake that rolls on and on
And yet my reflection lingers still
Long after the wake is gone

Watching the world I leave in my wake
I ask something in your name
Make the world I leave in my wake
Better than before I came
