Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 11/05/2026The last of the Christmas tamales. Muy triste. 020
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Southeast Alaska. A boat outboard on your flatbed sorta makes sense here. 020
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Kayaking in winter in Sitka is a thing. Some perfect days out with the whales. The herring are spawning and there are bubble-netting humpbacks, as well as grey whales in the Sound right now. 071
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Postcards from French Polynesia. Still a paradise. We were thrilled to find intact coral reefs, lots of fish, uncrowded beaches, and a proud thriving Native culture. 060
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 08/03/2026So this is Tahiti; Huahine, actually. And yes. Pretty much paradise. 040

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know we have a lot of work to do, and recently a lot we aren't thankful for, but I am very happy to be surrounded by a community on folks trying to make life better for people, animals, and the environment. 050
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Dear Roger Barton, I am writing to end my relationship and patronage of Outdoor Research. After seeing photos of ICE and/or CPB "agents" proudly wearing OR gear, I am no longer willing to support your company as it assists in the continued tyranny and dictatorial take-over of our cities and towns. 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I found that the car doesn't have any tiedown spots, so we had to make due with the fender cuts. 😄 120
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Finally got my Subaru Solterra yesterday. It was shipped on the ferry to Sitka from Juneau. I hadn't actually driven it before and it was a thrill testing the EV acceleration. Saw a whale spout and everything. It must be a sign. Looking forward to reading the mountain of owner manuals. 280
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Getting some billionaire vibes from a visit to the Biltmore. Woah. 010

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Electric Dreams. Putting a down payment on this e-hotrod today. 160
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Crazy day in Juneau today. Flew in at 5am. Got to the car service place to get my car. Bike rack and expensive bike on top are missing. Scoured the lot and found some parts and the way they got in. 2 hours later spotted some people spray-painting my bike one block away. Grabbed it back. 🤢🤮New color. 220
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Autumn is looking like our reward for this past spring. 💛🧡💚🤎 010

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Me now doing a preemptive grunt before I stand up. Do people do this to hide the sound of tendons snapping and joints creaking? IDK. My first time getting old. 130
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Got studied by a bear yesterday. We did teach it how people rapidly mosey back to their skiff and retreat to a safe distance... 230
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 22/06/2025It always makes me happy to see her coming back to the boat with a smile. 010
