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.
