January 11, 2023 - Van Isles, BC - On the hard

Image
January 11,  2023 - Van Isles, BC - On the hard Prior to arriving to Philbrook's we had started a dialogue regarding the work list, along with photos, to help with estimating and pre-planning.  This was useful as I was able to ensure that the parts (transducers and paint) were available and transported them with us avoiding any lead time issues or transportation cost associated with a border crossing. Our project manager, Ian, checked in with us first thing on Monday.  Ian promply started introducing us to the leads responsible for the work packages.  The whole process was very professional with good collaboration.  I was able to walk through each item of my list with the appropriate lead and discuss details.  Immediately after being hauled out we had people on the boat starting work on various projects. Servicing of the salon compressor was completed prior to haul-out with just a topping off of the refrigerant to account for the cooler NW climate, versus t...

June 3 - June 16, 2024 - Wrangell

June 3 - June 16, 2024 - Wrangell Calm morning and conditions for the transit to Wrangell pulling in between two fish boats.  We kept an eye on a boat in an ideal corner spot for us to type up on the opposite dock.  Soon they were on their way, and we repositioned to the opposite dock.  Once settled we began housekeeping chores so  Raven  would be ready for our return.  Geary, with help from Lois changed out the engine, generator, and get-home drive zincs.   Sylvia from Alaska Vistas gave us a lift to her office so we could make our deposit on our Anan Wildlife Tour in August.  Unfortunately, Ian Nelson of Nelson Diving, was ill and could not make our appointment for a bottom clean.  Brian Schwartz, Alaska Legacy Security, arrived and we set him up to monitor  Raven  while we are gone to Seattle from June 4 – June 16, retuning on June 17.
