Lee Chambers Family Enjoys Sixty Day
Leisure Cruise From Seattle To Kodiak
THE CHAMBERS’ BLACK FISH IN THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR
A good percentage of Americans
dream of the day they can stop
working, buy a small trailer or a
pickup camper and retire in style
driving from place to place to see
the sights they’ve always wanted
to visit.
The Lee Chambers of Anacortes,
Washington, have a seafaring 6lant
on that same picture, but they are
not competing with heavy traffic,
dusty roads or overcrowded high
ways.
Aboard their cruiser, the Black
Fish, the Chambers have been
docked at the Small Boat Harbor in
Kodiak for the past week They
sailed into harbor on July 24 and
have been enjoying Kodiak hospi
tality since that time, along with
Mr. Chamber’s sister-in-law, Mrs.
Ida Chambers of Vancouver, Wash.
A good portion of the work on
the wooden cruiser was the handi
work of its owner, Lee Chambers,
* a retired businessman whose work
was in the field of lumbering and
timber.
He built the boat in 1952 and it
was launched in 1953, and partially
rebuilt in 1959 after a fire damaged
much of the cruiser. The attractive
cruiser fulfills a life-long dream
of Chambers, and the trip to
Alaska is the first long voyage.
!LEFT ON MAY 29
The Chambers trio have been
away from home since May 29,
taking a leisurely cruise along the
Canadian and Eastern Alaskan
coast. It is the longest trip they
have taken, but in the planning
stage is a trip to Mexico.
The cruiser has every conveni
ence a vessel costing five times
that amount could provide with
ample sleeping facilities, two
showers, a circular staircase. An
independent hot-water heating sys
tem—and all the comforts you
could find on a cruiser twice its
size.
The Chambers made a number
of leisure trips around Kodiak
Island the past weekend and plan
some aerial flights with Alf Mad
sen for the fore part of this week.
The cruiser, equipped with an
automatic pilot, enables the only
male aboard, Lee Chambers, time
for rest as his wife and sister-in
law take over at the helm.
They plan to return to Seattle
in about half the time it took to
make the trip up here or in time to
reach Seattle on Sept. 1.
