Life in Valdez

Ahoy mates! There have been tons of changes and new beginnings in the Kramer clan this past summer, fall, and now winter. Here are a few pictures to show what we have been up to since our adventure last spring.


Bristol Bay was amazing as always.


We switched out the Algona for the Toni Marie this season.


Stacey and Mark joined us this season, too.


Ben and I were married on Aug. 17th. It was the most amazing and unforgettable day of my life. Words can't quite express how much fun we all had on this magical day. Having so many awesome people lend a helping hand to create the most beautiful, original, and genuine wedding was such a humbling experience for the both of us. We are so thankful and lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives. We couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you to everyone who played a part in this special day!


All the ladies had some fun on the Klutina River the day before the wedding.



Us kids spread Rowley's ashes in the Copper River with the rest of the Washington gang.


Fingers tried on a bra.


The West Witch had some lovely visitors: Dad, Anie, and Scoober who ventured out in Prince William Sound for a few days.


The snow started to fall in mid September.


So the West Witch got a fancy face lift.

Pete and Stan helped so much!

Living on the water has allowed so many up close and personal sunrises and sunsets.

Lastly, Ben and I are taking off for a quick visit to Hawaii and then to New Zealand for about a month of exploring. We'll be flying into Auckland on the north island and making our way down south until we take a ferry to the south island. I'm hoping to post some pictures and quick updates of where we are and what we're doing along the way.
