Couple

I just returned from my Maui vacation and had to share the picture of the darling couple we ran into in a shop in LaHaina.  The Grand Princess was anchored out that day and I think they had come in from the ship. I don't know if they spoke english so I held up my camera and pointed and they happily obliged. I don't know Japanese from Chinese, but would think they were one or the other. From the side, it was quite evident she was expecting and the dress was big enough for at least triplets. What fun it would be to know more about them and if they designed their own outfits.

Sistership

Just for fun, here is the sistership to the Western Clipper.

New family member

There's a new boat in the family! The Western Clipper arrived at her new home just a few days ago. She was built in Richmond, Canada and her birthday is just 3 days after the birthday of my youngest. They're both June babies :o)  The boys have been busy sawing off part of her stern, the part that was added after she was built, and the part that made her too long to fish in Alaska. If she were to fish in Washington state, Oregon or California, there would have been no problem. She is built of aluminum, hence no paint. Oh, and she also  has a sistership in the harbor, owned by another commercial salmon fisherman who also brought her here from Canada.
