Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Spent a gorgeous weekend on the Grand Mesa in Colorado. 020
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Sitkans lost a hero today. Burgess Bauder was so loved we had bumper-stickers that say "What would Burgess do?". He will be greatly missed. Here's a lovely piece done by Rob Woolsey a few months ago. www.kcaw.org/tag/burgess-...kcaw.org 131
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 27/08/2026We also need to close loopholes like trusts, mega-yachts, tax-shelters, real estate holdings, political donations, and such. 120
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I truly see your argument, and I agree. We should not tax people on the margin. A fair tax structure is critical. Wealthy individuals, corporations, and the rest all need to be taxed at a much higher rate than the rest. 110
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 27/08/2026There are a lot worse things than paying taxes for healthcare, schools, roads, and the like. Alaskans are always the first at the federal trough and last to tax themselves. 160

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 05/08/2026So glad they're ok. Wow. And their Gofundme raised over $25k. Yay people! 120
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Salmon have returned to Redoubt Falls near Sitka in massive numbers. Thank you to all that helped make this happen. 0143

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Tenakee Springs "Acoustic Coffee" at the bakery was as perfect as it was wonderful. 020
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 29/05/2026So happy to have our first chinook (king) salmon aboard. This 17lb male was reeled in expertly by Dave on his special lure. He was thrilled, and we were very well fed. Thank you Pacific Ocean. 120
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 · 20/04/2026We keep finding potatoes that overwintered in our garden here in Sitka. Way better than easter eggs. Unless of course they are dark chocolate. 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I guarantee Temu hardware is not your best idea... Buy the good stuff. 110
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I couldn't believe it either. Snorkeling in Tahiti and they were absolutely everywhere. So incredible. Each one seems to be trying to out dress the others. 120
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 · 27/03/2026Well the hard part seems to be accepting others and treating them as we wish to be treated... Maybe someday. Maybe some day. 010
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 · 27/02/2026Oh dear. I once had a taxi driver in Fairbanks pull out his aluminum foil hat for when he drove past the HAARP facility because 'they were altering his brainwaves'. Just leaving this here... 000
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 13/02/2026From Micheal Graney: "Hey kayakers! We are on for Saturday paddle! If you need gear, kayak, paddle, spray skirt and PFD please come to the shop at 9:15-9:30 - 1490 Seward Ave just in front of the CG Station." Feb 14th at the Sitka Maritime Heritage Society Boathouse on Japonski Island. 000

Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Sitka folks mark your calendars. February 14th Community Paddle with a Valentines Day theme. Let's show Sitka Sound some love. We will also be cleaning a beach or two. 040
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 04/01/2026What are your "honey-don'ts"? Things you've gotten a pass on after screwing it up the first time. My partial list is: Cutting her hair, making the bed, baking, frosting said baking, putting away the Christmas ornaments, accounting... 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 04/01/2026We still live in a beautiful world. We are reminded what we are fighting for sometimes. 140
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Provided the car will start... But that pizza. Begs the question: what toppings will you want on your very last 'za? 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Well aren't we popular.... There are 10 places named Sitka in America. There is one place named Sitka in Iraq. There is one place named Sitka in Hungary. Cities named Sitka in America. Tennessee South Dakota Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan Kentucky Kansas Indiana Arkansas Alaska 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Thanks for keeping us safe. Together they woulda been bad. 😉 010
Blain Anderson @capt-blain.bsky.social · 01/12/2025The first lighted paddle parade in Sitka! Join the fun. 140
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 · 08/11/2025Occasionally something really catches your attention. This graphic novel of a story on the bears of Japan is worthy of a read. Wow. www.reuters.com/graphics/JAP...reuters.comBear attacks are rising in Japan. Aging hunters are on the front line.Japan is grappling with increasing conflict between humans and wild bears, prompting calls for officials to rethink how they manage the risks. 110
