1)  What is the weather like, right now?

      You can find information on the current weather at:
      Alaska Weather
      Prince William Sound Weather

2)
 What time do we leave?
      Departure time varies between 6:00 am and 9:00 am. depending on the tides. Feel       free to call the day before, to see what time we will be setting out.

3)  Where is the boat located?
     The REEL FORCE is located on a float right across from the harbor master's office.

4)  What should I wear?
      Dress in warm layers so you can remove top layers to maintain your comfort level. In       addition, it  is a good idea to bring rain gear, warm hat, gloves and comfortable       water-resistant footwear.

5)  What about fishing gear or other equipment?
      We supply fishing gear and tackle. You can also purchase your fishing licenses       onboard. Don't forget your camera. The photo opportunities are abundant!

6)  Should I bring food and or drinks?
      We provide hot and cold drinks. If you would like other munchables, feel free to bring       them along. Please bring your own lunch. Note: No bananas on board.

7)  Will I get sea sick?

      The F/V Reel Force is a very seaworthy vessel, and most of the time there is no       wave action. To date, only one person ever got sick on our charters. However all       boats rock and roll a little. If in doubt, either contact a physician or use an over the       counter motion sickness preventative. Be sure to follow the directions and take it the       night before.

8)  Are reservations required?
      While not required, we strongly suggest you make reservations in advance. If there       is room onboard, we gladly accept drop–ins, however reservations means you are       NOT left on shore.

9)  What methods of payment do you accept?
      We accept cash, checks and travelers checks. Please do not send cash in the mail.       A 50% deposit is required to hold all reservations.

10)  How far above sea level are we?
      This question is asked all the time. On the boat, you will be about 3 feet above sea        level  *wink wink*.
