A one-man submarine with a canon? We've seen it all!

Among many things, my father William Lampe was a commercial fisherman.  Sometimes he would take his kids out fishing, or just “steer the boat!”  His boat, the “Clarissa Rizal” was moored at the Juneau Float which was down the Carrol Way stairs and across the street from where we lived – most convenient for him as well as I, who loved to be down at the harbor.   Walking Auke Bay’s boat harbor, I reminisce the days of being in the company of boats, high tide, the aroma of saltwater sea and salmon, and folks dressed in fishing attire and the Juneau boots.   Then there’s the addition of the modern, eclectic, sensible statements aboard some vessels…

Always remember to take your grill and gloves when fishing...!

Christmas colors in August...

In Alaska, a man's boat IS the "other woman!"
