Yes, that place is pretty good; we used to stop there now and then.

We are installing a "Forward Looking Infrared Radar" on the boats for spotting Whales and other warm bodies that are out of the water for brief moments.
Do you take U of AK students diving to do some of this...if you do, I bet my niece has been on one of your boats...

Neph, here's something that Met and I know very well. Head up to Willow and just before you come off the hill into the center of town, there is a blue bus to the left of the road. This place has kick ass burgers and shakes!

Well we haven't as of yet on these boats, but we do have dive boats. But they are mostly for underwater construction work that I am aware of.

But these boats are fully capable of doing that too.

Well I would help out, but the last time they thought I was getting ready to harpoon a whale with the boat hook, they got a bit freaked out...

No, we don't do the work, we just run the boats as they are contracted out to the different agencies and oil companies for research or oil field related work.
