The Swift Arrow makes the trip from one of E&E's riverside storage yards to the river.

After being rolled into the slip by the travelift, the boat is gently lowered into the water.

Each season salmon fishing boats are resurrected from “parking lots” – we have five such lots for boats that fish for us – all across the Alaskan coasts for the short journey to the water. E&E stores 150 boats in our storage yards during the off season. As the season approaches, the boats are either trailered by trucks to boat landings the conventional way or lowered into the water using “travelifts.”
