Quick update on the boat
We're not in the water yet, but we're SO CLOSE! The engine started up well, then quit the other day. There was a small leak and the crew discovered it was because of this tiny piece pictured below (the one on the left is the piece causing the leak). It's a flare fitting for the fuel line. The past week has been full of overnighting parts from Anchorage and Washington, and finding more little things to fix to make the season go more smoothly. We're looking forward to seeing her in the water soon!

The time has come when sleep comes in two hour chunks and the deck of the Courageous is filled with fish. The crew is working around the clock, harvesting the world's best wild Alaska sockeye salmon to fill your freezers.
The F/V Courageous is currently in the Nushagak fishing district with about 650 other boats, waiting for the sockeye salmon to strike.
We've been super busy with preseason tasks the past few weeks, and now the F/V Courageous and its crew are on their way to Bristol Bay.
