This is an auxiliary sailboat converted for fishing. I believe there is also a sister ship to this vessel farther down the dock. Ive seen several auxiliary sailboats used for fishing in Alaska.

The wind has been howling all day. Not much rain, just a noticeable amount of wind. The barometer (yes, it could use some brass polish) went from 1005mb last night to 979mb this morning, which is a really steep drop (which means high winds). Sea forecast was for a storm (50 knot winds), land forecast was for 40mph winds gusting to 60mph. A nice day to be warm, dry and comfortable in port.
