hola all! we are in Seward. got here late friday afternoon, spent the eve and day resupplying and visiting with Matt's Mom and Dad. Steve and Noel have made this journey comforting, and fattening. ;) they are special.
tomorrow early we leave for our final leg to Whittier, about 120nm. our initial forecast is very favorable with N winds in the mornings and SW in the afternoon. we have a great shot to be into Prince William Sound in 3 days. from there we're less exposed and will have the most flexible planning of the entire trip - minimal currents, seclusion from strong weather.
it's been bittersweet realizing we are in reaching distance of our goal from a start that seems so long long ago.
thanks for the new donations.
best.
matt, djuna, mathew.

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.
