Yeah, you should have seen the smiles when MY toothbrush ended up in the head after a round of rough seas...

whoa, dude! Now MT will have to kiss you on the cheek. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What happens on the boat, stays on the boat!

Just another glimpse....

Man, what a pretty bear!

Ok Matt I don't venture here often, so lets see some more pics and hear the yarn.

She sure is and she was first spotted a few days before with a pair of Leupold 8x32 6.4 binos. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The fur on her was so very soft and such a beautiful color.

looks like a good time to me.

Great Bear. Waiting for the details.

I'm on pins and needles, too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Might have to start telling some embarassing things just to smoke him out!

Had an interesting start to the trip... starboard main had a small malfunction in the transfer case linkage and jammed in forward gear. Was REAL exciting going around in circles in the harbor, nearly crashing into a whole slew of boats!

Replacing the linkage was no big deal, but finding the stuff to replace it with took a little time. Something about sales people that do not know their products... Some expressed reservations about starting off with such a bad boat driver...

Redeemed myself at the fuel dock where I had to slip into a skinny spot and surprised the dock attendant by sliding in sideways and stopping exactly where needed. So no one decided to abandon ship...

Gee and I was being nice and not telling them about that lil mishap <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



To think then I saw a help wanted ad for the same exact buisness a couple days later..maybe they got rid of the helpful person behind the counter... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />.

Just a note twernt me that expressed reservations about the Captin...I had a worse adventure my 2 times through NYC then a lil bit of a boat problem.

did i mention the hotel that charged by the hour? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

"...surprised the dock attendant by sliding in sideways and stopping exactly where needed."

Yeah, but were your eyes open or shut?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was out with the HM a few months ago on one of their Galley Gourmet tours, learned a little about the finesse it takes to dock one of those big beasts!! Hats off to you skippers who can pull it off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

While we're waiting for the alleged <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />bear story, how about some boat pics? How big a barge is that Art?

Bumpers up or down? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I can help ya with the boat pic as we wait for the bear hunt to unfold.



As you can see it didn't snow at all while I was there... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

and then another little peak of the prize...

Is that Art after the toothbrush incident?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok already some one tell us how big the bear was and if Art used the toothbrush fer bait or if he kept on using it.

Trying to give bearstalker a chance first on the whole bear story..I took pics with Bearstalkers cam for him and Art and I took some with the numerous other camera's hence why
I seem to have a plethora of Bear Pics.

Matt the boys are hungry for a good ole bear tale. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



p.s. I know work is probably keeping you busy.



BTW...the toothbrush fell in the head on the return trip back.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
