yes, we are all here now at Matt's parents. it's good to be together. we are lucky to have such a nice place to prepare all our kit and logistics. and Noel is fattening us all up, her meals are excellent, as is the coffee. ;)
the basement looks like an unwrapped christmas morning as we unpack and again discuss all we'll bring. it looks like we'll have plenty of room to carry quite a surplus of safety gear and extra things that will make the trip comfortable, and warm.
tomorrow we make a final gear run and the first big food shop. then we continue to wait until we can dry pack our boats, which are sitting quietly in a port in anchorage. we could get them as early as friday or as soon as tuesday.
the weather is very favorable here. the seas are calm with only 15 knot wind gusts. everything is trending in the right direction.
off to bed for a big sleep. I am in Alaska, but it's weird, it's still light....
I began paddling in the waters of Cook Inlet, working as a guide in Kachemak Bay. Since then, my husband Matt and I have moved to Orcas Island Washington and work with Body Boat Blade. We are passionate about paddling in dynamic waters and living adventurous lives. The Kenai is so diverse and wild, it’s a place I love to know exists on this planet.
