The lucky winners had thier nights of relaxation on June 9 and 10. Local fishing guide Garth Mclean of Lures and Toures, donated his time to take the group fishing on the 9th.

A start to a new season
All right all you salmon lovers and cod catchers out there, stop all your dreaming because it’s time to cast off and tackle the start of another great season here at Westview Marina.
Lets start fishing with the latest event to spring up over the last weekend. The Robert C. Seamans returned after two years, when the ship first came to town on a visit. The tall ship arrived on the first of June with its total crew of 27 people, a mix of university students mainly from the eastern USA, and noble crew. They set sail from Hawaii three weeks prior and struggled through gale force winds at times, all while conducting oceanic research along their voyage. Tahsis was the ships first stop after the crossing, much to the relief of the students and crew, who spent four days touring the town, kayaking, hiking, bear watching, eating ice cream, and relaxing on the docks. On their final full day of rest here at the marina they opened their hatches to the public for an open ship so that the locals could see the wonders of a science ship rarely seen in these waters. The Robert C. Seamans will be returning on July 20th to the 23rd with a new batch of students and some new crew. Where it’s going after that? I guess you’ll have to come and find out.

Just a little perspective, the two bosses are still there, you just have to look a little harder.
Just some views of the Robert C. Seamans at the dock of the Marina
Some of the crew and students relaxing around the fire during the evening. Can you spot the Captain?
um... don't kayaks work better in the water?
The Robert C. Seamans leaving the dock on Monday morning... I think you forgot someone.
The Robert C. Seamans on its way south back to Seattle, bon voyage.And now for your fishy fix. For all you nay sayers out there we do have salmon and more than two of those brought in broke the tyee mark.
...and to think it’s only Juneand now for the halibut catch... not much to say really, but a picture is worth a thousand words, or an average of six halibut and a mess of cod.
