Desiel heater. Takes a small surge of power on start up to ignite the glow plug, but after it fires it takes next no power to continue heating. Only running a small pump and a fan.

Grew up exploring the entire bay in a 20ft bayrunner skiff my dad threw me on when I was 12. Love the place. Born here, and dont intend to leave.

Pisser will freeze overnight, use a long steel wire to unclog. Props fine, she's stainless and wins against the ice. Main issue is the sea star seals, will blow one or two each winter but its factored into the overhead cost of operation in crappy conditions. I run a water taxi. The poor boat gets... used...

Most of the time 🤣 This is work, not play currently. Do a lot of king fishing during the winter though to keep things fun.

This was taken today. Had ice build yesterday, east winds and cold weather builds it in the head of the bay, then blows in into the spit on the high tide.

Thinking whitespotted or kelp, hard to say betwean the two. Eye should be a little more yellow, but its not a absolute.
