Alaska Boaters Base Camp 8.12.12

We are back in Louis Bay, Knight Island with flat seas and blue skies. What a great time we had at Glacier Island with the Alaska SeaLife Center sea lion capture crew. The Alaska SeaLife Center was capturing Steller sea lions to collect data on the health of the Prince William Sound sea lion population. They also attached satellite tracking devises that will give vital information to researchers. On this research cruise we had Jeff Corwin of Ocean Mysteries with his film crew documenting the sea Lion research. Jeff and his crew were also great fun to work with. The R/V Cathy G proved to be an excellent base camp for the research team to work off of. There are lots of boaters cruising the sound right now chasing salmon, ling cod and halibut. Deer season is open and we are hearing several boaters on the radio reporting deer sightings on the beaches. A few days ago a commercial fishing boat reported seeing a group of deer swimming between the islands. The good weather has hung around for a week now and it looks like the next few days will be nice too. We still have rooms available for this week. The last group  did very well on the lingcod and rockfish as well as halibut and they found our 7 foot fish cleaning table very handy.
