Friday's Big Suprise-"The Wizard"

SOOOOO My "Special Suprise" for Friday was a tour of "The Wizard"
Got to meet all the guys, Crosby, Lynn, and Green Horn (Josh)

Crosby and the Rest of the Guys all say HI!!! Mystic.
Especially Pork-Chop!!!
Keith and Mouse were in the gally discussing the upcoming season. Yes, I did the "fan" thing and got some Pictures of me with them but I am not posting them, Mostly because it was a REALLY bad hair day.An Eagle takes a break right up on the mast.
The New Engines PURR like kittens. No heading in for repairs for this boat!!! The Post are all loaded and the crew is taking on bait and working on lines.

Of Course they left poor Lynn do the nasy job of bringing on board the Frozen Herring. (Which Still smells even FROZEN)
And Finally, for those longer term readers of my bolg, here is a shot of Bunker Hill You have never seen before! From the Deck of the Wizard docked at Westward Seafoods in Captains Bay, looking back Ductch Harbor way!!
Lots more to do today, More Suprises in Store.
Just wait 'till Sunday Brunch tomorrow for the tale to be told!!!
(I have got to stop this rhying thing. I was giving orders to the Housekeepers this morning in it)

A tour of the Wizard?! How cool is that? And the guys were on it? I'm a little jealous, but so happy to be living vicariously through you! And yes, you need to post the pictures of you, good hair or not!

Yo CB! Once again you done us proud! All the CROSBY fans are gonna have to put on their drool bibs... Porkchop is looking kinda good there too. Great to see Lynn back. Does Greenhorn Josh know what he's getting into?! lol

Here's wishing the Wizard a safe season, and here's hoping Captain Keith remembers the Cup 'o Noodles!

What do you have in store for us tomorrow? Oh that's right; FOOD! I am SO there!

Becky said...

That's awesome! Your so lucky! Was everyone nice? Keith and mouse didn't look real happy in that pic. LOL

Love your site, have been checking all the time for new post, must have checked 20 times today!

mamawas said...

you have an up and coming fan club CB remember to add us to your friends on the NW forum (our other hide out)

GOd Bless all in Dutch HArbor tonight

Carlisleboy said...

So Dani, Should I reserve a Private table for you and Junior Tomorrow?

Carlisleboy said...

They were Guys were all great with me Kim. But there is bad news on the crab Front and that was waht they were discussing. The Ice pack is REALLY pushing down fast this year and the crab grounds are covered. Several boats have already turned back to Dutch. If the ports really freeze over up there than the season might be delayed or crab could be diverted here.

Mystic said...

Yay!!!!!!! My buddy CB got to meet my Wizard buddies! Yayyyyyyyyy! LOL now you have met more of the crew than I have hon! rotflmao! GREAT pictures darlin'. I agree with Dani that we absolutely need one of the pics with you and the guys! Thanks for delivering my special delivery too. You are tops!
I would like to put a few of the pics up in the crabwizard gallery if that is ok hon. Also, I'm going to post a link from our site to your blog if that is okay.
What a treat this thread has been!
See ya tomorrow for brunch!

Dani said...

lol oh yes private table, good view, good food and some cake and i will be sorted.

Miss said...

That is so cool! I am jealous! Thanks for the update on the other boats too! I am glad it wasn't anything serious about Sig's plane. Johnathan is my absolute favorite captain....if you see him can you please snap a pic of him? That would seriously make my day!

Miss said...

Hey, and I agree with Dani...you should post the pics with you in them too! Your hair couldn't possibly be as bad as mine right now, lol! I am talking messy!

Kochava said...

Thanks for the photos of the Wizard! Can't wait for brunch tomorrow. I think I'm post 12 so come on let's see who's going to be #13.

Carlisleboy said...

For Pictures of Johnathan, Check out My friend's blog On my list, the Cape Cherief Aveda Salon. She should have some uploaded from last night here soon.

Carlisleboy said...

Oh noo 13 comments Now can not let that happen

Carlisleboy said...

You know you can do no wrong in my eyes Mystic, but thak you for asking. Post away!!!

Kimi said...

Im not the biggest fan of the Wizard but those are some cool shots. Im glad you got to take the tour and meet the guys. PICS CB!!!!!!!!! I dont care if you are having a bad hair day. I need a window seat for tomorrow. Ill be good and leave all alcohol and desserts till after! I hope there are some yummy salads too.

Alexis08r said...

That is so exciting that you were able to get a tour of the Wizard. Thanks for sharing all the pics of the Wizard crew with us.

Jennifer said...

LOL! Great blog of the Wizard! So excited here that you got to see the guys on board and talk with them. Hope their all pumped up for Opi's! They look it! Hope the brother's Capt's are doing well, they look alittle stressed....well who wouldn't be at this point. Thanks CB for the updates.....GOD!!!!! I LOVE YOUR BLOGS...you ROCK :)

Reading said...

What a great treat, CB. I want to see at least one pic with you in it, bad hair day or not! The pictures are great but bad new about the ice, though I am thankful all the guys are sitting at the dock and not out to sea.

Anonymous said...

What a lovely blog to wake up to! I am so glad the Wiz's engine pneumonia is all healed and she is purring again. See you in the morning for Brunch. Salad, Lean protein and hugs please!

purrduedvm said...

Aunt Frieda, can I sit next to ya? I haven't seen you in a bit! Oh and you can divert all the desserts and alcohol to me :) I'll protect her from them CB! So cool that you got that tour. Love the shot from the boat. Can't wait to hear/see more surprises!

Reading said...

Purr - can I sit with you? I promise to keep that aunt of ours away from the alcohol, though we might have to share a dessert or two! Wonder if we can talk CB into a doggie bag to take home to our kitties!!!

Elizabeth Douglas said...

Ooo!!! YAY!!!! I'm so glad to see the guys! Thank you for an excellent tour of the Wizard and some great shots of the boys! I hope that ice pack doesn't give them too many problems! You know CB, bad hair day or not, you with the guys would make an excellent fan of the week pic over on the Crabwizard forum. You should really jet over there and let us have one...we all love your blog you know!

Kathy said...

That's it - I'm packing up and getting ready to head for Dutch. Sounds like there's way too much fun going on there to miss out on it any longer. Would someone save me a seat near the window?

Congrats on getting a tour of the Wizard, CB. Did she feel as massive as she looks? The news about the ice pack sure doesn't sound good for the fleet. Can Fish and Game adjust the dates for the season to extend it if they get delayed for longer than usual? Any word on Sig making it to Dutch yet? Can't imagine he'd enjoy getting stuck at the airport in Anchorage.

Anonymous said...

Purr and Reading, please join me at my table. You can both have all the carbs and I will pick the protein from your plates. Reading, no shrimp for you. An alergy attack might strand you in Dutch for a week! Can you imagine having to stay at the Grand Aleutian with all those men? And I am sure Dan and CB would be waiting on you hand and foot....wait, what am I saying...here, have a shrimp...have 2!

Margrita said...

Awesome pictures thanks for sharing them. Can't wait for brunch. The jumbo Margarita is all mine LOL

...Fizz Wood.. said...

thanks for showing us your wizard pics CB! a new greenhorn? what happened to Cooper Weatherby! he was cool! he had my attitude towards the cold lmao!

Mystic said...

Fizz...Cooper was unable to rejoin the crew. The reason will probably be mentioned in the upcoming season, so I won't reveal that. He is highly thought of by Capt. Keith and the crew.

Carlisleboy said...

Ditto Here Mystic, Except I will add that it is not because he was a "bad boy" and got tossed off the boat. Working on the Brunch Posting Now Guys and Gals. I'll have it up by 12 AST, MAYBE earlier if this new system I worked out for posting Pictures does the trick.

Reading said...

I hope for your sake the new system of posting pics works for you, and selfishly I hope it works out because I want to see the pics!!!

Bryan said...

I enjoy reading your blog and seeing these pics of the Wizard was very cool!! Thanks for all that you share with us.

snowymistyriver said...

Good to see that Lynn is back !

Lori said...

Awesome pics and tour of the Wizard. They are great guys and I just want to know one thing - for a newbie to the island - how in the world are you getting so lucky to get an "in" on all this info and then to get right on the boats? You're our DC lifeline - thanks CB! Oh, and me too wants to know where the NW captain is (MIA). Poor Edgar, left with all the work.......Oh, and Reading, I think I have now figured out who you are by this post (well, maybe).
