Cruise Ships and Tours with Freddie Of the F/V Cornelia Marie, Shopping, And Get your Own Crab Necklace just Like Josh Did Last night on DC!!


The Cruise ship Clipper Odyssey Once again Made A Call in Dutch Harbor/Unalaska on Monday.

Great Ship, Great Crew and Great People all combine to make my job as a Tour Director FUN!!

Even were lucky enough to have Three Eagles on the Church at once!!

And My good Friend Freddie, From The F/V Cornelia Marie, joined us for a good part of the tour. He and His Amazing wife Vanessa are the only "Regulars" on DC that live here in Dutch Harbor/Unalaska Full time. They are as pround of this community as any of us, and I know it was a thrill to many of the guests on board to be able to talk to him. He also is in like 50-100 photographs from that day as well. For some of the Guests he was even more popular than the eagles!!

You know you are in "Dutch Harbor Mode" when you get thrilled about getting 5 Bags of Groceries for only $114.00!!

AND Finally, Do You Want a Necklace like Josh of The F/V Cornelia Marie got last night on the season Finalie of DC? The Grand Aleutian Gift Shot Sells them Both with the Diamond (Like Josh Got) and Without.

A Broach is also Available.

This is the exact one that Josh Got. $575.00 with the Diamond.

You can call the Grand Gift Shop at (907) 581-7117 Between 8am and 7pm AST if you want to place an order

.....While the servers are still getting ready

So A week of no Posts!! Sorry everyone. It has just been Really Really Busy. Full hotel every day lots of checkouts and complete room Turnovers, Cruise Ships and meetings and not the best of weather at all!!Even the Wildflowers seem a bit subdued in this Gray light,

Out in Margarets Bay A plane is Landing Almost every Day. The Pilot goes out and spots for the Herring Fleet. Kinda neat!

As I said It is BUSY!!! These are all Trampers just waiting to get loaded with Product Down in Captains Bay. Most of the plants are going 24-7 and everyone is working!

Just like Lst week, And the week to come There are Cruise Ships VIsisting Dutch Harbor/ Unalaska. I if course get to play tour Guide.

One Place that is not on the "Official" Tour, But tends to be popular is the "Spit" dock.

Luckly one of the DC boats was in. You all Remember the Maverick Right?

It was also a great day for Eagles. Got pictures of them everywhere....

Especially Right on the Cross on the Church During our Tour!! How perfect is that?

In the Midst of All this Busy work, it is important to Remember What has been Lost. Several years ago this month Some Scientists Put forward that Pluto was not a Planet. even though it HAS A MOON.

The Monsters! Let us take this time to Morn, For what has been Lost.........

Like Dill's Hair!!!!! http://unalaskamom.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-07-24T12%3A04%3A00-08%3A00. I will not post a Picture however, I do not want to add to his Trauma.

Be Strong Dills, It will Grow back!!!

JS has been saying how nuch she missed Everyone up here so I thought a few pictures

Or Your Crazy Brother who like to climb out on the rocks up on Ballyhoo........

Playing in Snow on July 3ed!
