"HOT WIRE" Joins the Rental Fleet!

This 17' Wooldridge is now available to rent!  You won't want to haul yourself out of its shock-absorbing "truck seats," but when you do you'll find plenty of room on the back deck and swim step to play your fish.  All proceeds from this boat benefit a great cause - the Bob Olsen Technical Scholarship Fund.  Bob (the late father of owner Linnaea Troina) taught science and electronics here in Ketchikan for over 30 years.  During those years, he helped many students pursue careers in the technical and vocational fields.  Seniors at the local high schools apply for scholarship money every spring, and the Bob Olsen Scholarship Fund helps them out as much as possible.  

In other KCM news, the silvers are in and fishing is going well despite the less-than-seasonable weather (but what are we complaining about - this is, after all, KETCHIKAN!).  The Marina is busy, busy, busy - with locals, cruise ship passengers, and other visitors to Ketchikan.  If you haven't stopped out for a bite to eat at the Dock Side Galley, you're missing out on a delicious time!  They're open 11am-7pm every day, with early morning breakfast specials on Sunday.  By now most people know that the famous Sitka Pie Lady is running the stand, and that she has pies (either by the piece or whole) for sale in addition to her regular delicious menu.  If you want to call ahead and place an order with them, their number is 225-4885.

We hope to see you here soon!
