Well, #1 has been safely delivered to Alaska courtesy of Alaska Airlines. He has been there for a few hours and if I know him he is already itching to go do some salmon or halibut fishing.
The rest of us join him next week for a vacation. I will be up there until the middle of August with #2 & #3 to get him all settled in, then it's time to come back and get #2 & #3 ready down here. I freely admit that I'm looking forward to getting some fishing in myself while there. I'm hoping for halibut, but will "settle for" a salmon or two. Hopefully the fishing will be better than it was last time we were there. The only thing we caught was smaller than our bait!
