First Run W/ The "new" Boat

[Dan in Alaska]

We took the new-to-us 26-footer out this weekend for the first time. The weather was beautiful and the seas were calm, so I figured I'd share a few photos.......

Here's a look back at the Seward Harbor, as we're leaving:

A quick stop for lunch:

A look at Barwell Island. Notice the WWII gun emplacements on the top.

Thanks for posting, looks like a great day out on the water, how were the temps?

[Dan in Alaska]

Air temps were in the 60's. I don't remember specifically checking the water temp this weekend, but it's usually in the high-30's or low 40's at this time of the year........you know, about perfect for swimming. :grin:

Where did you get that grill from? Looks nice, can you give me a link to where to buy one?

The grill is a Force 10 Sea Chef Barbecue with the Fish-On rod holder mount. It's a pretty basic grill that we bought at a local shop. The grill was $120, if I remember correctly. The mount was another $30-something.

A quick Google search shows me that there are lots of on-line vendors. Here's a link to one: LINK

This is just the first link that popped up on Google. I have no experience with this particular vendor, nor am I recommending them, I just linked to the web page to show you the grill. This is only the first time we've used the grill, but I was happy with the job it did.
