Aloha Spirit - Boat Work


Hey Gang

I was surfing the web this morning and checked out the Aloha Spirit website. Looks like Shawn and the crew have been pretty busy with some Boat Work during the offseason. Here is a little blurb from their Website - Aloha Spirit Sportfishing



Recent News 020609 Hello everyone we have been really busy on the boat with putting a new deck on the boat, painting the house, hull and bulworks. We put in a water heater and a spare bait pump along with a new grill in the galley. We are getting rid of those annoying cletes along the inside of the boat that we all seem to find when walking up the sides of the boat. In the bow we have put in a all stainless anchor system instead of the wood plank we used to have. We will have some pictures on here shortly. We still have good dates available for 2009 so give us a call.

Shawn and the crew


Man, I was on the Spirit this past December and I thought the boat was in pretty sweet shape. A little Make-Over just in time for our Jay Maeda Rock Fish Opener Charter next week. Can't wait to check out the new look.

PS - There will be NO loose torpedo sinkers banging against the freshly painted Wheelhouse or Bulworks on our trip. Watch me put a nice ding in the new paint job - D'oh!!!!!

Big Corona 2007

So I was going through some old files on my computer and I ran across a pdf file a friend had sent a while back. The pictures below are from the Big April 2007 Swell that hit Big Corona. Check out the waves rolling through Newport Harbor. Cowabunga.....







John Cunningham from Newport Bait Company has to be shredding it up in one of these shots.

Thanks for the pictures Mr. Cartmell
