Big boat in the village?

Deckboss is somewhat dismayed that Coastal Villages Region Fund has yet to put out a public statement about its business split from that big, Seattle-based fishing company, American Seafoods.

But I notice that Coastal, evidently, has relocated already the enormous pollock factory trawler it acquired in the divorce.

According to Coastal's handsomely redesigned website, the home port for the 341-foot Northern Hawk is now Chevak, a Cup'ik Eskimo village of about 920 people in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.

Chevak, of course, is one of 20 villages Coastal represents under the federal Community Development Quota program.
