Alaskan Cruise

[Wraith]

Can't believe that there is no room for Flat Tim! I'm certain that if you looked hard enough he would fit in the pages of that romance novel you are taking for those "down" times that you will have. Be inventive, place him in places you would not normally think of, like a handy USB flash drive that you can print off on board the ship!

Bon Voyage!

Have an lovely trip, Laura. From what I've seen on Nat Geo/Discovery, Alaska is gorgeous. Definitely a "To do" on my list.
Will you dock for a day or so- and get time to venture into the quaint towns and trudge the trails?
You carting the 70-300 or the beast 300mm f/2.8 VR.
Wish you good light.

Cheers..

Laura since you're from the east coast i'll post this recipe, i'm assuming you've only had the atlantic vesion of halibut

only use that east coast fish for this one though. taken from the Southeast Alaska Women in Fisheries 1983 cookbook:

Take a medium Turbot (also know as greenland halibut) and clean it thoroughly. Remove head, tail, fins and season. Pack in damp mud and place in a depression in the sand. Then build a bonfire over it and cook for about 2 hours. Kick the fire away and remove the fish. Chip the mud away from the fish, then throw the turbot away and eat the mud!

Alaskan halibut and salmon are like no other

oh use can use the above recipe for that nasty atlantic salmon too
