The Boat Maker: Homer, Alaska:
Literally at the end of the road lies a little known boat manufacturer that is braving not only the harsh winters, but logistical challenges, material cost challenges, and labor challenges in order to build a boat hand made for the heartiest consumer, Alaskan Fishermen. Alaskans are known as outdoorsmen. So whether you’re a fisherman, a hunter, a crabber, a whale watcher, or just a coastal explorer, if you need to get on the water, you need a boat that will hold up to the dangers that the Alaskan waters are so well known for and get you home safely. That's why Bay Weld was founded. At the end of the road, tucked away in the trees on the Homer spit (google it), exists a massive manufacturing facility filled to the brim with aluminum handcrafted vessels of all shapes and sizes. Aluminum plates come in one side, and completed custom, hand-built boats come out the other. Its a stem to stern manufacturing juggernaut and its in the least likely place anyone would ever suspect. Watch how Eric and his team live life on their own terms, surfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and exploring, all because of their hard work and tenacity to do what everyone thought could never be done in a place so far removed from civilization in this, our first episode of Making Alaska.
