Typical Windy Day Traveling on the Yukon River Stan Zuray

  • Thought it be interesting to show some of traveling on the Yukon River by boat as we daily do around here. Just like a car in the city which you drive every day this is what we do. A bit of the video was so shakey from being bigger waves that it was ridiculous and even this to me is kinda nerve racking as I like smooth videos. It does however show how it is when your driving in the chop. The audio may be hard for some to make out - I'm wearing hearing protection myself because the chop on the underside of the alumimun boat is deafening in my small cab. It is what it is. hope some may like it. Stan

I wouldn't last a day in your world, and I think you'd pretty much hate living in mine. It's 111 degrees Fahrenheit here (real feel) and I don't think you could enjoy even a moment of it. I have a lot of respect for you and the guys around you who still live off the land. I enjoy living vicariously through you.

      Then king salmon have been in trouble for 25 years and it's just so bad now the state can't manage it. The fish took over the management. The chum salmon are simply in a cyclic slump I think. Different problem - El Nino - has happened before and come back ion record numbers.

      The King salmon were damaged genetically long ago and we are living with the effects of that now. We are still ignoring the things we ignored all those years. We are in what I called 10 years ago "the cover up" phase of the King crash.
      www.rapidsresearch.com/The_Fall_of_the_Yukon_King.pdf
      The fall chum is different I think. In 2015 the record El Nino generated the warmest ocean water anomaly ever recorded. Parts of the Bering Sea (where our chum go as they are flushed out of the rivers after hatching) were 7 degrees warmer than normal. That warm water lingered into 2016 even after the El Nino subsided. 2016 was the parent year to a major portion of the chum salmon that were suppose to return this year. Those El Nino years should probably not have been fished on commercially at all but were.

      Okay this may start an arguement but first there is no one preferred I believe. See Yamaha, Honda, Mercury, Evinrude E-Tec, most. Had a mechanic that sold all four popular brands and I asked him once which ones does he see in the shop the least and he said Honda with Yamaha real close. Said the E-Tecs were 90% of what was in and out of the shop. To me Honda is like a Volvo in quality next to others I've had and had them all. Honda or Yamaha. Merc is a little cheaper and you get a good motor.
