This is my last boat outing while fishing the derby on August 13, 2010 with my husband aboard the F/V Chelsey this year (as he had to go back commercial power trolling)...you will probably notice that we didn't have much luck fishing, although it was a serene day on the water, so we kicked back and enjoyed all the splendid beauty this fine day offered us north of Juneau...

| A wonderful day out on the water has made for fond memories, and we'll now be looking forward to fishing the derby once again in 2011... |
Oh, how I love to reflect on photographs such as these on days like this, including throughout the winter months until the next spring and summer season graces us with its presence...
