Kayak Transport Company

Icy Strait

We are headed out today to begin a new week of adventures.  Look for us back here in Auke Bay a week from Monday!

Whale of a Wave

We saw whales every day in Frederick Sound and then in Stephens Passage.  This one waved as we went by.

Leaving Petersburg

A lazy gang of sealions watched us go.

More Ice

The Tracy Arm Glaciers are producing magnificent icebergs.  The birds sure like them.

 

Petersburg to Juneau

We just completed another fantastic adventure, this one featuring lots of ice.

 

 

Mothership Kayaking in Southeast Alaska

Note to friends of our Wisconsin kayakers:  Contrary to the photos you are being shown, it is not always sunny in Southeast Alaska!

You can't always pick your weather (sorry about that), but you can pick your trips.  The Kake to Petersburg via east Baranof is a winner. 

Frederick Sound Whale

We saw many whales from afar as the mothership made her way toward Petersburg.  When we saw one heading our way, we did an all-stop.  The whale stopped just off of our port bow and spy hopped.  After getting a good look at us, it lunged up and back, and left us to rejoin its pals.

Many thanks to Sue, who kept sufficient wits about her to point a camera.

 

Mount Ada and the Moon

The moon has tough duty in the many hours of daylight around here.  (Thanks to Sue for the photo!)

Zooming

It is possible, and sometimes even fun, to pull crab traps from the kayaks.  But more often we put some horses to the task.

Gut Bay Bear Again

We started thinking of him as "our bear."  But he was not the only bear we saw.  There were five more grazing in the grass just around the corner from where we were anchored.
