We can't believe the summer is half done already! Six wonderful trips with friends and family. Thank you to all of our sailing crews for really incredible trips.
Thank you to Marya the the Sitka Fine Arts Camp Board of Directors for a great day on the water - and the cool tee - and puffins!!!
Without a doubt the bestest review we ever got. Thank you Mayr!
Had an incredibly fun trip with the old gang. Whales, bears, and orcas, oh my. Super fun trip with a side leg to Haines for the Alaskan Beerfest. Thank you friends!
Had a rainy but nice time with Connie and Rick and neice Emily in Sitka Sound and Peril Strait. Thank you for a memorable trip, all.
Season ! Let's to this thing!

Truly a wonderful four days of teaching and sailing aboard S/V BOB with the Sitka Maritime Heritage Society. We trained up 13 new (and a few already experienced) sailors - and can't wait to see them out on the water soon. Thanks to everyone! Especially the boats that gave us a wide berth as we were learning the ropes.
😉 😎⛵️💨
We look forward to doing this again in Sitka next Spring. Watch for more info in March.
Sushi and a haul-out. Spring chores aboard BOB are always fun in the sun. We sailed to Hoonah for a lift to repaint the bottom. Came across a pod of orca and some unusual birds. Yellow-billed loon and a red-tailed hawk. We head back to Sitka in a few days. But it's really nice to be out on the water again.

Humpback whales have been incredibly discreet in their intimate moments - so much so that they have never been photographed actually doing the deed. Well, the paparazzi has finally caught up to them, and like most things with this highly intelligent genus, it's not quite what we expected.
On January 19, 2022, off the coast of Maui, Hawai‘i, an unprecedented event was recorded for the first time — two humpback whales copulating. While this observation is remarkable on its own, this story has a remarkable twist – the encounter involved two male whales. Humpback whales have long b...

Trekkies might know this but it turns out First Officer William Riker of the USS Enterprise will be born (fictionally) in Valdez, Alaska in 300 years. Yet another reason to set a course for Alaska and make it so.
“Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you,”

A group of fans want to honor William Riker’s Last Frontier roots with a bronze statue in the character’s hometown: Valdez.
Come sail away to Alaska. It'll be fun. Summer trips are still availible for 2024 and we're already booking 2025. Our amazing sails are detailed at: https://soundsailing.com/sail-alaska/a-day-in-the-life/
February News from Sailboat BOB - https://mailchi.mp/dbe95c660251/svbobfeb2024news
The crew recently had the opportunity to perfect this recipe on our charter boat, Sir Galahad II, out of the British Virgin Islands. They say the drink was invented on the island of Jost Van D**e. It is fine fare if you need a winter pick-me-up. The nutmeg really ties the room together.
Painkiller recipe ala S/V BOB
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup sweetened cream of coconut
1 cup rum of choice (Pussers Navy Rum recommended)
Blend to dissolve coconut cream
Add to two glasses with ice
Shave whole nutmeg over the top of both
Add slice of fruit
Hand one to a friend, pour yourself the other and get ready for an amazing sunset.
St John USVI. Pretty nice place. Then on to the British version. Also bloody crackin'.
Saddened to share the passing of a really wonderful person and veteran of Sailboat BOB. Leo Paveglio was a teacher, photographer, traveler, devoted husband and father. We got to share two trips with him and loved seeing Alaska through his eyes. He sailed Glacier Bay with us this summer then headed off to Africa for a photographic safari, and just returned from dog-mushing in Finland. A life certainly well-lived. We are so glad to have shared time with him.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone from the 🦃🦃 on S/V BOB.
A big thank you to Earl, Leslie, Misha, Anniko and Peter for joining us on our trip back to Sitka. Really really good times.
With sadness we heard Jimmy Buffett's sailed over the bar. Fair winds and following seas, and thank you for the soundtrack of a lifetime. ⛵️🛟⚓️🏝🌋🍔🦈🧉🩴🩴🎸🕶🦜🦩
