This is a continuation from Part One and Part Two. If you have not seen those threads, please also visit and enjoy the photography in them. I keep splitting these up so the photographs will reliably load. Also, please do not try to fashion fancy links. Just post the URL to the image source, and I will work with it. It is actually much easier than deconstructing malformed link attempts. Thanks. |

May in southeast Michigan by Algonac: It's a typical Saturday evening ride in a 1989 Revenge W-T 20 with my wife and twin five-year-old daughters down the St. Clair River going to get pizza and ice cream for Saturday dinner at Riverside Marina.

Skiff, YOU can't make the photo come up. Jimh does that after you post the link. I know, it's a little confusing because the instructions are in the UBB code section. All you can do is post the link to the website. This is done by using [url] at the beginning and [/url] at the end of the actual web address for the picture. In Photobucket that is the address that appears in the "Direct link" box. And no spaces between the brackets and the web address. This can be confusing. I still make mistakes occasionally. Remember also it's url and not img. It's all small case, too. Good luck. FG |

Here's a shot of our partnership Revenge 19 with Matt/placerville indicating that someone boated a big fish:
And here's a shot of Matt with his 14-yr-old passenger and the kid's 40+ pound Chinook (king) salmon. It was the young man's first salt water fishing trip and he got this monster under Matt's tutelage. I've been playing the salmon game pretty enthusiastically for over twenty years and I've never caught one that large...damn them both to the everlasting flames ;-)

Great thread. Perusing it is like taking a mini vacation. Here are three from this year. Springtime in a coastal kelp bed. The headland at Santa Barbara harbor on a calm January evening. Admittedly, a poor picture of the Outrage, but any excuse to show off a big dead fish... |

OK, I think I've got it...Here's a few...at first glance, this may not look 'purist Whaler', but trust me, it's all the best attributes of a stock 15' Whaler hull with a few 'modifications' done to help it excel at what I like to do. In it's heart, it's still a Whaler all the way...Started out as a bright red, stock 'Mischief', ended up a little different.... On the 'Real McCoy' ferry crossing to the NorCal Whaler Rendezvous at Snug Harbor a few years ago: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/skiff_bucket/whaler.jpg Nosing in to drop off some camping equipment out on the backside of Santa Cruz Island off Santa Barbara: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/skiff_bucket/9testshot.jpg Running out the Tahsis fjord on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, west bound for three weeks of camping and surfing: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/skiff_bucket/Firstdaysrun.jpg 6@ 17 with a morning bump, throttle UP!:
[Most of these images are actually in a BMP format and are extremely large and uncompressed files, more than twenty times larger than a typical image, and for that reason I cannot make them in-line images. They would cause the loading time of this thread to become extremely long. However, they are nice shots, and you''ll have to enjoy them in a separate window--jimh] |

One last posting.... Lake Almanor, Northern California: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/skiff_bucket/lakealmanor.jpg Surfing is like fishing, there's mostly waiting: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg57/skiff_bucket/grb3.jpg And Tony, Fishgutz? Thanks again for all the great help with the posting technology. For all the good Karma, it's instant membership time.

For those who haven't already had the pleasure, yes, skiff's surf buggy is a Whaler, and a very sweet converted 15 indeed. 'Skiff' is longtime CW member Jeff C., many of whose incredible photos I've posted here over the past couple of years. He brought that boat to our NorCal rendezvous several years ago, and it was greeted with enthusiastic curiosity. Jeff/skiff is a maritime professional (I'll leave it to him to explain his position with more detail if he chooses), and a Central California surfing legend. We're lucky to have him finally up to speed with his direct photo links--stand by for some incredible ocean photography. Tony And Jeff, thanks for your offer of instant membership in the Point Arguello Yacht Club, but I'm hurt to the very quick. You've apparently forgotten that I'm already a member, and my Outrage 18 proudly displayed that decal on her console until I sold her earlier this year. Sic transit gloria, I guess... |

"Skiff" has definitely got some great shots. I sent him an email a couple of years back inquiring about his boat along with some question about weight distribution in 15' Whalers. The collection of photos he replied with were phenomenal. I still often look through them. |

My favorite photographs from 2007 Despite "Small Craft Advisories" 79 people gathered for the The Garcia family made a big splash with their new 2007 305 Conquest! Several of our Whalers clocked more air time than a commuter flight to Los Angeles. http://s389.photobucket.com/user/Nantucket_Sleighride/media/Airborne. jpg.html?sort=6&o=63 “Painted Cave”, on Santa Cruz Island, extends 1200 feet and is the 2nd longest Sea Cave in the world. The light you see back inside the cave is the deck light on my radar arch. http://s389.photobucket.com/user/Nantucket_Sleighride/media/540.jpg. html?sort=6&o=64 We had 4 Boston Whalers tucked inside the mouth of the cave at one time. http://s389.photobucket.com/user/Nantucket_Sleighride/media/550.jpg. html?sort=6&o=65 I would like to thank Schock Boats, West Marine, Specialty Marine, and Boat U.S. for sponsoring our 2007 Santa Barbara Boston Whaler rendezvous. My hats off to the high-spirited Boston Whaler owners who took to the water like Golden retrievers. You make us proud to own a Whaler!
