Comings and Goings

Comings and Goings

The Starr crew spent a drizzly and windy day exploring Seward.  We headed first to the Maritime Center where live seals, sea lions, otters, fish and sea birds can be viewed up close.  It is very well done, and it was a perfect day for that kind of activity.  I also checked out the Seward Museum/Library, and on the way back to the boat ran across this mobile taco stand down on the waterfront.  It is Seward’s Hawaiian food connection.


Hamajang Hawaiian Tacos
Another individual came by today to audition for a crew position on the mighty Starr.  This guy did not impress us with his get up and go however.  He thought that floating around behind the boat looking cute would get him the job.  Wrongo.  We need motivated self starters in this program.  There are enough of us good looking type-B personalities aboard the boat already.


I want to crew on Starr!

We all walked Clay up to his bus to Anchorage at 6PM.  He had a 3 hour bus ride to the airport, and then flew out at 1AM this morning.  He just missed Lori, who flew in to Anchorage at 6AM,  She is catching the bus in the other direction and should arrive in Seward mid afternoon.  I can’t wait to see her!

    Hi Don and Sharry,

    I truly enjoy reading about your adventures but do miss seeing you all in HNL. Thank you for sharing!

    I recently (last Thursday) flew over the panhandle of Alaska (headed to Beijing from Detroit) and thought about how cool it would be to call you on the HF to “check in”.

    Kris and I are still exploring the Western Rivers on our DeFever 53 but looking forward to more traveling after my forced retirement from the airline industry next summer.

    While reading your travel blog, I have always been impressed with the quality and personality”s of your fellow crewmembers. Maybe I misunderstood your inflection when you interviewed someone who thought the only requirement was to “look cute”. It could be a generation thing with me, but I would have been polishing the SS for an opportunity to contribute!

    Travel safe and again thank you for allowing us “small boaters” to enjoy real cruising!

    All the best,

    Rusty Bliss
