My husband and I spent a mostly snowy
although wonderful winter day
sport fishing and sightseeing
aboard our 43' F/V Chelsey
in Juneau, Alaska...

 |
| Well, all we were lucky enough to catch today were four cod, here's a rather large one we threw back... |
 |
| A series of photographs of a regal bald eagle that spotted the cod and circled around it a couple of times trying to grasp it in its talons, but to no avail as it turns out the cod was too large for the eagle to carry away... |
 |
| The seagulls tend wait until the very last minute defying this big boat approaching before taking flight... |
 |
| Captain Max watching the fishing rods while wishing that a nice winter king salmon would bite... |
