    Why would that company not want you to wear their brand of clothing on tv
    Isn’t that the idea of putting their name on clothing

    Gorgeous trip Mark! I will be honest and say I thought you were crazy for building an "ark" but you did an amazing job! Jealous of all the adventures you have ahead of you.

    I was wanting a Duck being a great fan of there design and coming from sailing. Problem was when wife got involved, lol. I now have a Nordhavn 60.

      Nordhavns are wonderful boats. I especially like the 47 & 52.

    Great video! Could you do a tour of your boat? I have dreams of building a duck but there aren't many tours on UA-cam.

      Yes I’m planning a boat tour video when I return to Alaska next year.

    What did it cost to dock in wrangle?

    • @stev8160
      @stev8160  2 роки тому +1

      My dry storage is $293 a month plus metered power. The visitor dock was $30 something a day. Very reasonable compared to San Diego.

    How do you handle security without being able to carry weapons?

    • @stev8160
      @stev8160  2 роки тому +1

      Canada will allow you to carry a shotgun on board. You have to declare it when you check in. For this trip we didn’t have any firearms on board but we also never made landfall until we arrived in Wrangell. I usually carry a 44 magnum revolver while in Alaska.

      I boated around that same area for 30 years. Security? Never saw any need for it. The concern is weather.

    • @stev8160
      @stev8160  2 роки тому +1

      My only security concern is brown bears when I’m fishing on land.

    Great video. Do you think that paravane stabilizers could be installed to reduce the rolling?

    Beautiful trip, I loved watching this.
    What model of Duck is this? Can we see a video of the boat?

    • @stev8160
      @stev8160  2 роки тому +1

      I’m going back to Alaska in May. I’ll make a tour of the boat video then. She’s a Diesel Duck 49. I eliminated the fly bridge and sail plan.

      @@stev8160 love the Ducks. It looks like you have done an amazing job on it. If you head south again, stop into Comox on Vancouver Island. I’d love to see it in person.
      It was great to watch you sail past our home town.

      Just came across some of your build photos on George’s 49’ wood duck page! Beautiful job Matt!
