Helping out with Greg Gower’s
fibreglass shrimp boat battler at
Sidney’s Tsehum Harbour docks
is Greg’s brother Paul Gower.
They’d just finished installing
new mahogany caprails on the
vessel, and Paul was sanding the
rails in preparation for finishing
with Cetol.

Putting a fresh coat of paint on the wood-hulled halibut longliner bucanneer
breeze(1988, Sather Boat Works, New Westminster) is Belinda Wauldhaus,
who owns the vessel together with her husband Telell. The husband-and-
wife team were getting ready to head up to Masset with their kids aboard to
visit family there, prior to heading out for halibut.
