The full stories live here: the travel notes, the food, the fishing, and the days that needed more than a line or two — bumps, bandaids, and all.
Journeys & Notes
GATE47 shares grounded travel stories with an aviation twist and a fishing thread running through them—places worth flying to, places worth the detour, and meals worth stopping for. It’s also the water, where the tug on the line becomes part of the story. It’s travel for people who’ve been around a bit and still like to go, look, and taste.
Travel and Aviation
Stories in Motion
Airports, airspace, and the real stories that unfold between takeoff and landing. The unexpected moments, the small dramas, and the human side of moving from one place to another — from coastal mornings to cities half a world away.
Food and Fishing
Run the Coast, Taste the Coast
Savor the flavours of the places you pull into, and the waters you run along the coast. From dockside meals that taste better after a long day on the salt to those offshore moments when the swell, the birds, and the bite all line up, this is the food and the fishing that give a trip its backbone.
