The Tuna Seiner Chac Mool and an unknown seiner passing some needed fuel. Seiners depend on each other out at Sea, and you can’t imagine how nice it is to see other boats and their  crews when you’ve been at Sea for weeks or months. [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats

This has always been one of my favorite photos in my collection for personal reasons . This photo belonged  to my Uncle Tony and my Dad actually ran this boat for a trip so I have great memories . The Polaris later changed its name to The Gina Marie and unfortunately sank. The Polaris was built by Martinac Shipyard in 1970. Share your memories at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats
