Adventurous
Bravo Zulu Award 
In nautical terms, the term "Bravo Zulu" is a naval signal, conveyed by flaghoist or voice radio, meaning "well done". The crew of the Adventurous has voted to award this years BRAVO ZULU winner and award it to a young man who deserves all kinds of praise for the 2008 catch of the year.
Weary but determined, Hudson Bos battled a huge king salmon recently. Hudson fought valiantly and pitted his strength against the monster fish, and was able to successfully get it on to the deck of the Adventurous.
Unfortunately, we didn't get the length or the size of the fish, because after it was caught, Hudson refused to relenquish it to be measured and weighed. However, we did get a quick snapshot of it for the record books!
The photograph above tells the story.
From the Captain & crew of Adventurous, Bravo Zulu to you. Well done Hudson Bos!
Sitka Alaska Charter
Fishing trip at it's very best
Southeast
Alaska’s grandeur has been written about, talked about, and dreamed
about since the first Russian settlers stepped ashore over 200 years ago. This
is a place where vertical mountains meet the sea, culture is thick with
native tradition, and full of pioneer spirit. Southeast Alaska is a place
of a thousand islands with endless waterways, but few roads.This is a destination
best explored by the sea and island passages. Alaska Charter Service would
like to invite you to experience Southeast Alaska aboard the Adventurous
where diversity, mobility, and comfort come together to produce an Alaskan
experience like no other.
Imagine your party anchoring each night in a secluded Alaska cove or bay and enjoying the freshest seafood dinner you've ever had, while watching a beautiful sunset. We can arrange it.

"What a winning combination! Stubborn halibut, feisty salmon, snappy crabs, surprise shrimp, and performing wildlife are part of the Adventurous experience. All this combined with remarkable scenery, comfortable accommodations, and an outstanding Captain and Crew create memories that will last a lifetime. Captain Travis and his crew wear many hats on this voyage: fishermen, tackle organizers, chefs, tour guides, and wildlife spotters to name a few. I can’t wait to hear “Whale on the starboard side!!!!!” this summer. Thank you for all the many adventures you have provided me throughout the years and for sharing the Real Alaska." --Diane Petroski, Clark, NJ
