Words of Appreciation From 2018

This time of year Jane and I like to look back on our season and discuss what we need to do make next year even more successful. Some things are out of our control, like fish runs and the weather, but other things can be changed and improved upon. This is also the time of year I like to look over my photos of comments that our guests left behind.
The photos used in this post are just a sample of the comments we received in 2018. This is because most of the wipe boards were cleaned by Jane before I could snap a pic.
It’s always a nice surprise to receive these remarks. 
Because you never know if our facilities meet people’s expectation.
We try hard to explain what we are and what we provide. “No surprises” is our goal and it seems to work.
I’ll conclude with my favorite note; a homemade card. What made this even better is it was attached to a box of Moose is Loose pastries. Mmmm, Moose is Loose....

Thanks everybody for a great 2018 season!

Will Robertson


The cast of characters during the Blinn years are unforgettable. One guy that always brings his "A" game is Dr. Will Robertson. A great cook, a great story/joke teller, a great pink fisherman (pretty good with silvers too); it's hard not to enjoy his company.
Case in point. As many of you know Jane writes the names of the people staying in the cabins on a wipe board near the entrance door. Apparently, "Will Robertson" left the building and his alter ego replaced him for the week.  
Will recently shared this photo with me (it's a lower jaw of wild pig). All I could think about is what it would be like to grow up in his house. I'm sure there was never a dull moment.

Hey Will, Jane and I look forward to seeing you again in 2020 (or possibly ice fishing in 2019???).

Break In

This wasn't the topic I planned on writing about this week, but we recently became victims of a break in/burglary.  I'm putting the word out on social media to alert my neighbors and other members of our community to keep an eye out for suspicious people who are in areas where they don't belong.
We were lucky that only our office and freezer room were broken into. The cabins were left untouched.
When I called the Kenai police department to report the break in, I was told four other properties on Angler Drive suffered the same fate. For a neighborhood that hasn't experienced this before, we're all a bit on edge.
The most significant loss was our ARY VacMaster VP215 chamber vacuum sealer. Many, many fish have been processed through this machine and I hate to see her go.....

If you see a used one of these for sale, or if you have any other tips about the break ins, please get a hold of me, or Kenai police officer Peter Fenske at 907-283-7879. Thanks.


UPDATE:  This post was written before the 7.0 magnitude earthquake happened near Anchorage, Friday morning. My son, Mac, lives in Anchorage and other than a scared dog and broken picture frames, things were fine. The Kenai Peninsula survived relatively unscathed and I'm thankful for that. Jane and I appreciate everyone who checked in to see if everything was okay.
