First Mate Ashley Keithley grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has spent 10 years on the saltwater with her husband Captain Chris.  As a professional figure skater, fishing wasn't her first passion, but the outdoors had a calling for her. She was reeled in by a group of ladies who organize all women's fishing, hiking, and hunting trips. 

Ashley enjoys making everyone feel at home, treating guests to the true Alaskan experience filled with delectable Sea-to-Table dishes, and cleaning their fishes!

Beware the Alaskan mountain lion can be spotted rolling in the sand on the beach or snuggled up on the couch at B&B.  He may look ferocious, but if you have a treat he can be tamed. You will know it's Poncho when you hear the jingle of this bell and see the fashionable bow tie on his collar.
