Alaska 2021 – Adventures on the Nelsea with Steve and Michelle Nelson

                                   Nelsea – 62 Offshore  and  Nellie – 20 Ft Grady White fishing boat

We are off to Alaska again!  We left home on April 30^th for a stop at Roche Harbor and the annual Ling Cod fishing derby with the Grady White club.  It was a tough weekend of fishing but fun fishing with Jeff and Tam Melvin. We got 9 Ling Cod but unfortunately all were just too small to keep! We had a fun time meeting up with people since it has been 2 years since we had the Ling Cod Derby due to Covid.  After the Grady group left Roche we met up with our Alaska traveling group.  This year we are traveling with Glen and Liz Dodge on Magic Moment and Dave and Jane Mehlum on Bidarka. Willard and Diane Thomas came to Roche for the weekend to send us off on our adventures.  We headed out on Monday May 3 for Van Isle and Customs.  We were briefed on all the rules that go along with our being allowed to transit thru Canada and off we headed to Nanaimo harbor for our first night at Anchor. On May 4^th we headed out for Comox but with the good weather and water we decided to push on and are headed for Campbell River for our night at anchor north of April Point.
